Atlas Shaper Crossfeed
tom osselton:
My thoughts are the shaft moving the table are fixed and the gear for the pawl freewheels but being engaged with the gear on the shaft is held stationary until the pawl rocks and engages a tooth. This is why I said to increase the throw on the drive plate by sliding it outwards from the center. One way to check would be to disconect the drive link and move the unit by hand to see if the pawls work pointing to adjustment.

The Atlas system sounds like it must be a completely different arrangement to the Alba. Any chance of someone putting up a photo or 2 just to give a better idea of what it looks like?.....OZ.

This is what my Atlas 7b shaper feed mechanism looks like. Is yours similar?
I'm not following exactly which part you're talking about. Mine doesn't have any exposed gears in the power feed...
tom osselton:
Here is the side of mine showing the linkage and the adjustment on the right, sliding the position outward increases the feed rate but if it is too close to the center it will just rock and the pawl will not engage.
And one of the crossfeed.
After removing the linkage and center bolt it comes out easy I did not have to remove the feed wheel.
One thing I found interesting is how they machined the gear down on one side so the pawl fits. The gear itself has a bushing and no setscrews or keys it just freewheels being engaged with the crossfeed gear.
Hope this helps.

Guys, thanks so much for posting pics,, I havent figured that out yet.Rock, the offending part is in that small case just behind the graduated collar on the feedshaft.The pic that Tom shows of the pawl gear,,,,that gear drives a smaller gear on the crossfeed shaft. The smaller gear is the one causing me problems. Everything else works fine,,ratchet, ratchet gear ,left to right lever , ect
