Plate Bushings

[Newton Hunt]

Hi Del,

I bought it about 17 years ago.  What did I know about
runout?  Nothing.  I thought if it went up and down it would
do so in a nice straight line.  NOT!  It took me a long time
to realize I could restrict the movement of the quill with
the lock lever, then I was able to do some work like put in
Stanwood friction screws.  I did it, only once and never
again, on a set of New York shanks.  Man alive what a chore
that was.

The problem is that the hole for the quill was cut from the
casting with no space to put in a set of bearings or
restriction screws with bearing ends.

Now I just live with it just I do my other flaws, few that
they be.
