If you have a "tight" drillpress...


From previous posting...

I do suspect could manage if really gave it a try but so far it's been
possible to find a replacement (although the last one may have been the
end of line on new replacements for that particular model; it was only a
new old-stock happen to find distributor w/ a couple still on hand that
saved having to do something different then and that's been several
years now)...

As long as it's close enough the throttle plate shaft doesn't bind and
the throttle plate ends up reasonable well centered in the throat, it's
not terribly critical. Hitting "pretty near" center would be ok.
