Atlas Shaper Crossfeed

tom osselton:
Have you tried adjusting it on the drive shaft it may be the setting is to small for the pawl to engage. I think we had the same problem when we first played with ours.

mexican jon:
I had a similar problem on my AMMCO shaper  :scratch: Confused the hell out of me for a while  :( Then i realised it was ok in one direction  :scratch: basically there was enough spring tension set on the feed screw as the retaining collar had come loose once I adjusted that to put some resistance back then the ratchet worked fine  :clap:

Sackett:
tks for rep;ys, n suggestions. gear spins freely on feedscrew. pawl, work ok,, but just rocks back n forth,, as the gear slips on shaft. I dont think locktight will hold ,,thinking of trying to drill gear, n put in setscrew maybe

JHovel:
There may be too much force transmitted for a setscrew to hold the ratchet gear to the shaft.
You should probably drill right through gear and shaft and fit a roll pin or if you have a taper reamer fit a taper pin.
Never seen any other method of fixing the feed gear to its shaft.
Cheers,

Manxmodder:
Sackett,the Loctite retainer grade probably would fix the ratchet to the leadscrew satisfactorily but it would depend on the clearance not being too large.

I would try Loctite as a first option then the grub screw if that doesn't work.

Here is a reference photo of the grub screw on my Alba 1A shaper ratchet......OZ
