I do have access to a drill press and mill.
What I also need is a source of the insert in Australia. One with
wheelchair access. That failing mail-order/Internet will be the way to
go. I try and support local business's where I can.
Cheers,
Andrew

There's various types of inserts, you might be able to get by with a
press fit one from the bottom. Something like this (if pictures work

I was thinking of seeing if a "helicoil" could work. Of course where do
I get it done?
More importantly, does the toolpost bolt have to be absolutely square to
the surface?
