Hi,
I've just bought a second hand Favorite staking set and have found that the pin vice doesn't fit into the staking tool bore. This appears to be due to a small pin partway up the shank of the pin vice being about 0.1mm proud of the surface. Now, being a bit new to this I assume that the pin vice is for holding reamers and the such like and having the reamer about an inch above any workpiece isn't too useful. I thought I'd have a check here before I remove the proud part of the pin that the problem I have is actually a problem. I assume that the pin is to hold some part of the internal mechanism of the pin vice and not a design feature.
Anyway, does anyone else have a favorite staking set and can they confirm that the pin vice fits all the way down the bore?
TIA
