Presto-Magico...ugly duckling to a beautiful swan

Post by Scott_Conger » Fri Jul 16, 2021 2:28 pm

I just couldn't put this butchered part back into a nice OF, so spent a little time and made and then installed a new head...

from this:

Making the fixturing took almost 2 days, but I think it was time and effort well spent. Future jobs won't be difficult or terribly time consuming at all now that the tooling is in place, though I may never need to do this again (but I bet I will).

How is the shaft attached to the head? Press fit?
