Of course the mill was apart in more than one place when this happened but I've already drilled and tapped (even with bottom tap) a piece of 7/8" scrap I had lying around. (green paint on the end apparently identifies the material). Anyway turned nicely, drilled and tapped 10-24 nicely.. Once the mill is back together the spin index is set up ready to for me to cut a 16mm hex head. Then back to the lathe to reduce and thread 10x1.5mm. Beats using the metalonium used to make the bolts that came with the mill. I couild buy a couple of bolts but might spend more time and fuel looking for a couple to buy than using free cast-off bits in the junk pail.
