Abstract
A jackscrew insert and a method for jackscrew insertion into existing mounting openings in a machine base are described. A jacking shoulder is provided by a modification of the existing mounting openings utilizing a jackscrew machining tool. The jackscrew machining tool includes a cutting edge which cuts the jacking shoulder into the machine base adjacent the existing mounting openings. Should the existing mounting openings not be modified for proper utilization of the jackscrew insert, a jackscrew assembly and method for use are also described.
