I was moving the knee up and down on my J-head Bridgeport yesterday afternoon and discovered that the micrometer dial binds against the knee casting when the knurled nut is tightened. At first I thought the knee itself was binding and then noticed that the nut was jammed tight on the dial. How is the clearance set? I have a copy of the drawing and it looks like item 88, BP 12060077 Holder, Dial sets the gap. Am I right?
The drawing doesn't show a set screw or anything like that. Is it just a tight fit on the shaft and you move it in or out to set the gap?
Thanks,
Tom
