How do you machine or fabricate a spring loaded ball bearing such as used
for indexing or tool holding? An example of what I am talking about is the
spring loaded ball that is on a socket ratchet or the end of a socket
extension bar.

Thanks

Drill a blind hole. Put in spring. Push in ball. Peen end of hole so ball
can't quite come out.
