Rek o kut master pro feedscrew adjustable center?

[trailerparkjesus]

Hi

I am looking for an "adjustable center" for the master pro spiral overhead (i think it is the "adjustable center" according to the diagram). It is what the feedscrew turns on at the end of the feedscrew. held in by a center locking screw.

See picture of the hole it goes into:

I’ll be that if you can get a photo of one on somebodies machine you can fake it at a hardware store... or at least have it made by a machinist. I vaguely remember it being a pretty simple post with a point (or bearing well) on the end.

I actually just shoved a phillips drill bit in there and it's holding well so far

Here it is.. as you can see there is a half bearing type nipple on the end which inserts into a recess on the end of the feedscrew. There is also one flat side on the cylinder which allows the screw directly above on the top of the overhead to hold this piece in place.

Do you have any suggestions on replacement? the screw bit isnt working since it is throwing off the feedscrews angle.

For anyone interested, I just ordered this to try: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GKYY0IS/ref=od_aui_detailpages01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will post if it works once I get it

The screw you linked below looks like it should be pretty close. Save having a copy cloned (don't see why it couldn't even be 3d printed out of a harder plastic) the only other thing I could think of would be a lag bolt with the point on the end filed down to more of a round nub? Maybe a 1 1/4" x 3/8" to start or something close to that...
