You should see the mess i have now. My new to me 4 tool post for my Leblond needed a new compound lower clamp insert. Simple. I found a nice peice of steel, and cut it to fit, in the Index 40H. And it has virtually no play. So next step is to drill the center fixing bolt and 2 alignment pin holes. Guess what. the pins in the center body are NOT aligned with the flats in the tool body. Even the old lower clamp has the pins crooked. ???? What lurch did this? If i drill the holes straight the tool it is 5-6 degrees crooked, and with no play its not going to happen. SO i need to A. Drill the pin holes crooked in the new clamp. OR B. drill them straight, and then redrill the center body so that it ends up with a straight tool. If you read this, what would you do?
