Wondering if any one knows if and where spares are available? I have e mailed ARC tonight but thought i would ask here as well. Yes I know I could make one but prefer top do other jobs if I can. I can temporarily rob one from the travelling steady to finish my job but thought i would start the process of trying to find one now. Regards Clive

May as well make two whilst i am at it as there is not a lot of meat on them after the M5 cross drill. However i have now learnt that they only need nipping up and not tightening. Regards Clive
