tom osselton:
You can see it on page 2 it looks like it is just to keep it located.

If it is just rocking it probably needs to be adjusted by sliding the linkage arm out increasing the feed.
Sackett:
Tom,
That wont work on my machine. the gear on the feedscrew has a bushing in ,,no hole for a pin , or key or anything. it just spins on the feedscrew. i can spin it with my finger. the mechanism works fine,, ratchet n such,,but the gear just spins on feedscrew
tom osselton:
Your machine is exactly like mine if you can move the table with the crank then it has to be the pin in the double key piece I'd tap the gear over or off, I'm sure if you take a closer look you will find a pin cleanly sheared off.
Sackett:
Well folks, I was wrong again. Man I hate when that happens! ,lol Here's an apolegy to Tom for disagreeing with him about his / n my shaper.
I had to move mine today to get to some other bits, n afterwards thought I'd have another go at fixing the power crossfeed. took it all apart for umptenth time,, n sure enough there on the crossfeed shaft were the little telltale circles of the sheared pin. Got all the little bits out, so off to get new roll pin. Was sweating bullets about trying to drive that little keyed bushing outta the zamak gear,, but first light tap, n out it came :D :D happy here
tom osselton:
Nice to hear you found it they are sometimes hard to see!
