Help Kit Question

dusty · Post by **dusty** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 9:05 am

The Help Kit is the Weekly Special right now.

Nothing has changed but I have a question. The Kit contains a 1/4"-20X2" Round Head Set Screw. Where is that used??

I sure wish I had been more observant back when all of this stuff I own first arrived. If I had been, I would not have so many questions today.

Would someone, please, post a picture of the 5/16"-18x3/8 motor pan screw with nylon locks. I think the motor pan most now attach differently than does mine. My headstock has clip-on nuts and no nylon locks.

Interesting that the motor pan screw is left handed.

Thank you. I just don't think of that as a set screw but then the table insert screws (flat head countersunk) are the same way. Guess I got tunnel vision.

Huh. Why do you say that?

Look at your pix! What direction causes the screw to go further into the 'nut'.

No, the actual screws are NOT left handed.

I do not think of those 'other' screws as 'set' screws either.

This would be 'right' handed.

OKAY I understand now. Maybe I should write a note to the illustrator.

Watching a movie on TV yesterday. A guy was taking DW screws out of a box lid with a cordless drill/screwdriver. The drill was in reverse, the screw was turning as if it were a left handed screw but it was obvious that it was not. Yet, amazingly, it came right out.
I had to stop the DVR and play it back in slow motion to see what I was missing.

Nothing.
Ain't Hollywood ingenious?

Now why couldn't they have eliminated the contrails from those Randolph Scott movies?

The aliens would not cooperate.

Same reason the wagon/carriage wheels run backwards. Strobe effect of the shutter.

Contrails are another matter entirely.

I think today it would be possible.
