The threaded part of the screw is only to hold it in the recess, with about 1/2 the head sticking out to key into a cutout in the lip of a 7/8" R-8 collet. I might even have to trim it a bit to clear the shank of a large tap as it goes by. I'll take some pix and put them up once I have enough stuff to "go into production". -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
