Jet Upper Outer Trunnion
-
Dave, these can be reclaimed, depending on whether the one you have is hardened or not. Some are, some aren't. If you have one that a hacksaw will cut, then you cut a longitudinal slit along the length of the threaded portion, then in large vice compress the threads inwards until it is a tight fit on the bolt. Grind a V along the cut, not too deep that you are interfering with the threads, and carefully arc weld right along. This shrinks the thread down to fit the bolt. I have odne this to both sides of my Jet, successfully.

Geoff, thanks for the info on the repair. I will give it a try and report back, sounds fairly simple as long as I can get a good weld. Thanks for your help. Gary, I called and left a message asking you to find out if there are any available from Bill and Charlies. Thanks to you both for the reply.
