Dave-G Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Wanted for undoing a 32mm air tube coupling with a 1/8" hole in the edge if that makes a difference. The one shown if for my bench milling machine and doesn't fit due to the peg being too large. Edited April 1, 2021 by Dave-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because you use it to tighten up the bearings on the bottom race before flogging the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted April 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Many thanks all, seems like the size I want is made of unobtanium. I can modify modify the one I have for my mini miller to make the hook/claw a 3mm pin to fit into the 32mm diameter air tube coupler, maybe drill out the hole to 4mm. It's no problem, I can clean up the vice jaw marks in the lathe. EDIT: I've now drilled the hole out to 4mm. It'll be easy enough to modify the one I have.
