Recently I acquired a used Bench Dog ProLift. I noticed it was missing the height adjustment lock knob, so I picked one up (5/16-18 thread)
I went to install it, and low and behold I cant find the hole for the knob!
Im not 100% sure which model it is, but its older and came with METAL inserts instead of plastic, so I was assuming it was the 40-016 model. Checking the manual for it on Bench Dogs site it looks like there should be a hole for the knob in the bronze bushing around the acme threaded lift screw. I dont see a hole there.
So my real question is, did they ever make a version without a height locking knob? Or maybe Im just completely missing where it should go.
Thanks.
