Just picked up another BT3000 off Craigs list, but it has a stripped blade raising thread so I need to install a helicoil.
Found the article in the list, and it appears that 9/16-12 is the thread size. Anyone know if that is universal for all BT3000s?
Looks like the Helicoil kits are up to $30 or so now, though the inserts are still inexpensive. Is the tap for a Helicoil different from a normal tap, or will a tap the next size up work fine? I'm trying to avoid buying more tools I'll use only once
Maybe we could start a tool lending library for commonly needed BT3X repair tools
