    Default 4 way tool post

    The indexing pin from the bottom of my tool post has disappeared . If anybody has one that they could measure and take a picture of, I would be most grateful!

    Cam.

    They come in all shapes and sizes; a picture or two might help.

    It's a 5/16' diameter pin with angled top that fits into a hole in the 't'nut for the original Sheraton 4 way indexable tool post.

    Hi Cam,

    When I loose anything like that. I usually find it hiding on the cast webs between the shears !
    Best Regards:

    Unfortunately I've had the toolpost off for a while (was using a different one) and when I got it out of the drawer the pin wasn't there.
