Missing Washer on Quill Feed

BuffaloBill · Post by **BuffaloBill** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 3:16 pm

Somehow in my Headstock Rebuild I've managed to lose the simple washer on the Quill Feed. Ref # 37 on the Parts Diagram, Part # 501627 in their Catalogue.

It seems a waste (Time, money, fuel) to order one online. Does anybody know the dimensions of it so I can see if there is a suitable replacement at a Hardware store.

Cheers,

Cody

It's a simple, flat, thin steel washer. I just measured it:
O.D.=1.250"
I.D.=0.750"
thickness=.03"

It's the same size as the serrated washer, but thinner.

Thanks very much for the information.

I'll see if I can find one somewhere or maybe just make 1 somehow.
