Looking for square socket T-wrench
We've got a fairly decent 16" Victor lathe in the shop (oops, make that
400mm...) with a square indexing tool turret. There is no proper T-handle wrench for the square head screws to secure tools, I use a 7/16 wrench. Have tried finding one here in AU, but boy, not much of a selection in real machine shop tools so far. Just burned 20 minutes trying to find one at MSC in the online catalog, no joy. Anyone know if MSC carries such? If so, a part number would be great! Or does anyone have one they could ship to my folks in the next couple days? Can PP funds from my US account. My folks have a package of stuff ready to ship to me, so if I can't get one to them within a few days, will just keep on with what I'm using now. Hell, I'll settle for a 7/16 square socket, I can take it from there. Regards from Down Under, Jon |

Regards from Down Under, Jon 8 point sockets are fairly readily available and work just fine on the 4 point (square head) setscrews.A socket, an extention, and a sliding "T" handle and you are all set. Epoxy them together (or weld) if you can't manage to keep all 3 parts in the same place without. |

Let's just say that for anything more complex than cutting a key slot or turning bushings, I have to get very creative. And once again, I replied direct to a poster instead of using followup. Rick suggested an 8 point socket. Well, I'd shipped over some basic tools, including all my socket stuff under 1/2" drive. Among all that, were three 8 point sockets. I've never used them and forgot I even had them, but his post jogged my memory. Yup, had a 7/16! Jon |

My first car -'50 Austin Cambridge - had an oil leak from the timming cover at the front end of the crank shaft/starting crank dog clutch. Not familiar with the rope trick, I removed the oil pan with combination wrenches (on end, with a screwdriver through the closed end), for the bolts between the pan and the bell housing; and blocked the crank with a 2x4 in order to remove the nut/clutch. Needless to say, these hex heads developed screwdriver slots before reassembly. I may still have a few Whitworth wrenches but I have been in my present location for 30 years, so God knows where the might be, certainly not treadily available. --- Gerry :-)} London,Canada |

Looking for square socket T-wrench

Try calling these guys: http://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Toolpost-Holders They are in Sydney / Melbourne / Brisbane / Perth. Thanks, I just found their catalog in the office a couple days ago. Closest I've found yet to the suppliers I was used to in the States. Didn't have any in the catalog, and hadn't gotten around to trying the website yet. I've got it covered now, but if they have one, maybe I'll order one and keep my DIY wrench for myself. Regards, Jon |
