Missing pad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We got one of our numerous easels down from the attic a few days ago. Teresa felt she couldn\u2019t use it, as a couple of bits are missing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I agreed I\u2019d fix it, if poss\u2019. After some measuring, I ordered some parts from Amazon, yesterday. They arrived this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t find anything quite like what the easel is fitted with (the feet appear to be resin, or something like that). So I just got something that\u2019d do the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After adding a replacement foot-pad, it\u2019s time to try and do the same for the missing lobed turn knob. I measured it very carefully, and the \u2018male\u2019 thread:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First time using this tool since I bought it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So\u2026 I think the \u2018pitch\u2019 is 0.8 mm, as pictured above. And I thought the male thread was 4mm\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temporary fix\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sadly the M4 threaded turn knobs I ordered turned out to be too small. So I guess I should\u2019ve ordered M5? I hope they don\u2019t turn out to be some weird imperial thread that\u2019s a bugger to match?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyhoo, I\u2019ve ordered M5 knobs, and they should arrive tomorrow. Hope they\u2019ll fit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
