p.s. Ed.

A box of #9 shells is headed your way via UPS ground. Some disassembly required on your part.
I'll send you the tracking number once I get it.

I have what I think is #4.5 (.125" diameter) and also either #7.5 or #8, as it measures .092"

It's all kinda mixed together, but it's mostly the smaller stuff.  Is that okay?



Edit: I guess I was too late!

I just noticed the other problem. Any chance you could flip one of the X-axis hand wheels 180° from the other? Cut another keyway or whatever? It's certainly not helping with both handles timed facing the same way. (Both up or down at the same time.)  

Good idea, I'll see if that's possible.
At least that would help for the X travel.

That would have been fine with me. Thanks so much for even thinking of doing this for me.

The two handles are pretty well lined up so I'd have to cut a new keyway in one of them. I'd rather do the lead shot fix, a lot less work since I don't have any way to cut keyways at this time.

I understand that feeling. I don't blame you. Work smarter not harder!
