Skip epoxy and make one out of wood, solid or ply. Here's how
(and I've got a lot of into on the X31 that you may find useful -
that's a lot of machine you've got there. Shame to use just
one of its five functions.

Bullet catch is a cylinder with a spring loaded ball bearing that goes
into the bottom end of an inset cabinet door. Under it, in the closed
position you put what I call the "stike plate" - a half donut like
washer thing held in with a small screw or brad. Have posted
a picture in alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking.

e-mail me an address and I'll send you a couple.
