[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1311180, member: 25383"] You can buy set screws with a brass insert OEM, but there's another outfit that sells a much better one, that you can get different brass tips for (name escapes me, but are commonly used in tooling). Try Ried Tool, as they might carry them. I built three or four out of aluminum tubing. Maybe four and a half inches in diameter, but also maybe five inches. The set screw holes had steel inserts in them (I used 1/2-20tpi Keenserts) with Allen brand set screws that were bored to accept a bronze plug made to fit the bores. Seems like I used three sets screws, but might have been four. One other thing I did was to mill a flat spot for a jam nut on the O.D. for the set screws. Funny this is that I never kept one for myself! I have seen it done another way using a mandrel. Never trusted it. gary [/QUOTE]
