I have some play along the axis of the bed on the spindle of my Union Jubilee. The belt is also very worn, so I thought that I would replace the belt and sort out the play at the same time.
The problem is that hex socket of the grub screw on the inboard side of the column is stripped. Any ideas on how to remove it?
I was thinking along the lines of drilling it out a little and then using a screw extractor. However the grub screw is quite deep in the hole and I fear that the taper on the screw extractor may foul the sides of the hole. I haven’t got a screw extractor, so before I go out and buy a set has anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks
