My current tool platform they I use in my banjo is based on a 1" piece of wooden dowel. After many instances of the locking lever being pressed into the dowel, it is on its last legs. I had the bright idea of just using some 3/4" pipe with a threaded end and a threaded flange to mount my platform (i.e., whatever small piece of plywood I have around that isn't too chewed up). Alas, it looks like the nominal outer diameter of typical 3/4" pipe is enough above 1" that it won't fit into my Powermatic banjo.
Can anyone suggest an alternative, preferably something I can mount some sort of a flange on? Thanks!
