Spring repair?
I bought a 20" Rockwell drill press with a broken return spring. I uploaded a photo to the drop box. http://metalworking.com/dropbox/10_Broken_spring_.JPG The replacement spring is still available, but is really expensive. I have oxyacetylene welding equipment. Stick welder but no TIG. Could this be silver soldered? Is there an alternative repair that would be stronger / easier? Take it to a welding shop and have it TIGged? RWL |
