FWIW I replaced the pin on my old Mill Drill with a .187 (3/16) piece of
stainless, never had any problems after that.

I couldn't find this info on Google. What is the proper material to use to
replace the pin on a Bridgeport drawbar? I tried a roll pin which was way
too soft and sheared too easily.
