Did any one used any of Stripped-Thread Repair Epoxy products?
I need to repair badly stripped threads in my Drill Press downfeed hub. Hub is the part where three feed handles are attached. Hub seems to be made of cast iron or some other very brittle steel that can't stand jerky movements of handles. Large pieces of thread teeth chipped out and handles are very loose.
What is best to use in this case Epoxy or metal threaded inserts? Metal inserts would be harder for me to do since I'll be using cordless drill to make holes in brittle metal (my drill press is obviously out of order)
BTW Hub is hollow inside so there is not much "meat" to hold on for inserts
Thanks
