Hard Pinch Bolts For Mill Drill

[epanzella]

Tiny project. The soft pinch bolts that came with my HF mill drill were galling and making it hard to set a consistent lock on the column. I machined a cupla oblong washers and welded them to grade 8 bolts. Washer and nuts were grade 8 as well. Now it's smooth as glass.
