Were it me, I'd just flip over the tiebar, so the bolt, even if loose, would hole the Model 10 in place.oldiron wrote:I forgot to ask in my last post, With the wall mounted ER, Is the headrest bracket the only thing keeping the unit from wanting to swing downwards on its swivel base?
(Flip it over, so the cut away part in the center, where the center screw goes, is facing the wall. That
way, the bolt, tiebar, or headrest would have to break (or, in the case of the bolt, be removed) for the
machine to go horizontal.
And,I've seen OLD pictures, of someone parking the front wheel of a post-war Buick, on the way tubes,
so nothing is going to just "break!" (Wasn't just the wheel, the whole car was held up with other methods
on the other 3 wheels, and the fourth one was resting on the Model 10 way tubes.) I could be snarky, and
suggest some one try that with a Mark series Shopsmith, but I'll pass on that.
