Gents, do any of you know what size bolt is used in the KMG tool arm for the Rotary Platen? I got mine in yesterday and there was no bolt included. It is the “compression” style arm. It looks like a 7/16” but a 7/16” will not start in the threads. The threads may need to be chased but I want to make sure I KNOW what size it is prior to doing anything to it. It is like being given a big bag of candy and then told you can’t eat it. Dang it!!! Thanks in advance! Curtis P.S.
 
I think mine is 3/8", but it may or may not be the same as yours. The bolt should come with the arm. Look around in the wrapping and packaging for it. It may have been loose.
Simplest solution is to take the arm to the hardware store and try a 3/8 and a 10mm bolt and see if either fits better than a 7/16".

Have you called/emailed Rob at Beaumont?
 
Thanks Stacy. Yes sir, I did call but they had already gone for the day. It is a new toy in the shop and I can't play with it. I am sure you know what I 'm talking about.
