Trying to fix a drill press. Model name Cummins. I purchased it off a truck in a motel parking lot sometime in the 70's. It has been a good drill press although I think probably made in China, not sure. The handle that tightens the table to the column is broken and I need the new bolt piece that locks it down. The problem is the thread size/pitch. I assume it is metric. A 1/2-13 screws on three threads and stops. The metric equivalent does the same thing. I have tried at various hardware stores, Home Depot, and Tractor Supply. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ellis
