Sure stop jig

[Knowledge_is_key]

Well I got my sure stop jig today. Now all I need to know is how to get the pin out of the stop lever assembly. It's an aluminum frame and the pin has a open hole threaded. Anybody know the thread size?

The jig should actually screw into the pin with a bolt (10x24 I think) you dont remove the stop lever pin. (and there is a bolt under the stop lever, goes thru the stop lever and into the pin, if you dont know where it is, remove the bottom cover and look up and the turret, you will see it. AND take you time drilling the holes, I seized a bit up in the jig trying to drill too fast. I started with a smaller bit before hitting it with the 3/16.

Did it come with instructions?
Where did you get it from?

Yes it did. I just like to double check. didn't want to mess up anything. So why not consult previous users.

Cool...step 2 states to install with a 10-24 bolt. Do not remove the pin. It should just thread right in.

Be sure you do not try to drill the entire hole at one time as the aluminum is very malleable and will stick in the flutes of the drill bit. This will clog the flutes and prevent the material from escaping easily. Heat will develop and eventually destroy the jig if the flutes are not cleaned.

Hope this helps.
