The Steel City 17" Drill Press in the bed of the truck.  I noticed a little box damage. Standing in my garage after I man handled the 250lb box. Labling on the box.
Here is a close up of that damage I saw earlier. Opening up the box. They have nice wooded supports along the box to protect the structure and everything is encased in styrofoam.
Paying special attention to the damaged corner. Top styrofoam cracked. Not too much on the bottom styrofoam.
Layout of the box contents and this shows the point of the damage to the box did not affect anything in the contents except the styrofoam which did it's job. well done Steel City. Pulling the parts out. The Heart of the machine. 
Small parts package contents. The base with all the rust inhibiter cleaned off and waxed.

07/14/2007DavidWhat I ended up using was a couple rollerblade bearings, steel rod and some rare earth magnets. In the Cradle side I drilled a hole with a forsner bit the right size for the outer diameter of the bearing. then without moving anything I changed the bit to the size of the rare earth magnet (3/8 or 1/2 i forget which) I then glued the magnet into the hole. On the mating tower I drilled a hole to fit the steel rod (3/8” I think). I did some testing to make sure the rods were long enough so that when assembled you couldn’t pull out the rods without unbolting to towers from the bottom streatcher. I glued the rods in the tower side and the magnet would pull it though the bearing and hold it tight. I also put 2 nylon washers in between to prevent the towers from rubbing on the sides of the cradle.
