Hi folks, I'm sure I have asked this before a couple of years ago or so but I can't find the answer in all the posts for this group, but can anybody tell me what the screw size is for the index pin for a 900. I can't remember if it is a 5-40 or a 6-32 UNC or 6-40 UNF? I'm after stripping the thr

Hi Begat, When I got delivery of my 900 I also had 2 x-axis split nuts sets and no y-axis ones. I got on the phone to Roger in England, explained the situation and he sent me out the correct y-axis split nut right away free of charge. Excellent service - thanks Roger. Don't know if you are US base

Hi Carl, I am flying to Edinburgh where I was born and bred. Miss it so much, but saying that I live near Dublin in Ireland, so it is only an hour's flight. I've been to Dunoon and it is a beautiful little town. The ferry from Oban to Dunoon is a great trip (when the weather is fine). Back to wood

Hi Greg, Oven cleaner seems a bit drastic although I understand where you are coming from - not sure what make the stuff you use is but the stuff I am familiar with, the fumes alone would knock you out unless used in well ventilated areas. Even a car parts/engine degreaser should do the job - make
