I need to make a small repair on my Franken Mill

[stevec]

The advantage of the taper pin is that one doesn't have to fiddle with tolerances for "press fits" and the like. Ream with the right reamer and smack the right taper pin in and you're good to go.

(after trimming the ends of the taper pin I like to centre punch the small end of the pin so that down the road I can punch it out if need be.)
