G'Day,

I recall seeing a webpage where there was some pictures of a threaded device
which used a piece of weedwhacker string pressed through a hole to serves
as a form of threadlock - similar to a nylock.

Now I need something like that in my design, and I don't recall the website.
Does anyone know the website page I'm describing?
What is the URL?

I'm making up some little machine jacks for settign a sinebar, and they tend
to move a littel when they are maneuvered into position, I'd prefer the thread
lock action as opposed to the bulk of a lock nut.

Thanks,
Des

That sounds like the KFR Omnipost tool holders. They use
this method on the vertical adjustment screw and it seems to
work well on the few holders I have made.
