Hi folk
I recently acquired a Walter Dividing Head HU100E and sadly the direct indexing plunger / lever didn't work.
Walter HU100E - Broken part
On strip down a very small part was found to have snapped in two. I'm not sure Walter in Germany can supply a replacement part so I've made a replacement in 302 Stainless. The original Walter component was a ground and hardened item ...
Question is: Can I harden the 302 Stainless by heating and quenching in oil ... not done anything like this before.
All comments welcomed.
