Welding Tips and Tricks

Anybody have a set of Mathey Dearman two-hole pins that use the wobble mechanism? I've got an idea and I'd like to use the quick adjust feature of the flange pins, but I don't have a pair, and I'm OCONUS right now so it's not like I can Amazon a set.

If you've got a pair and wouldn't mind taking a few detailed pictures I'd appreciate it! I'm specifically interested in the quick adjust ability, not the alignment part.

I’ve used them at work. The nut just has a hole in the center that’s threaded like normal. But then one side of the hole is oblong so that it has no threads. Looks like a miss drilled hole. You loosen the nut just a little this allows you to tip the nut and disengage the threads. Then you just pull it off. I personally don’t like them much. They don’t really save much time. I can spin a regular set apart just about as fast. Realistically it may take 1 to 2 seconds less time per setup and take down.

So is it "mis-drilled" at an angle across the threads? Like a threaded hole, then the part is offset some degree, and drilled through?

Any way you can snap a pic? I'm just not finding one online and I'm OCONUS right now so I can't just order one. I'm not trying to home brew a set of flange pins or anything, I'm interested in how it functions for a different project.

Yes your right. The threaded hole only has threads on about half of the hole. So you can tip the nut and disengage the threads.
