| 626 mill power feed install |
| << < (2/5) > >> |
| John Rudd:
Lyn, I'd really appreciate any help you can offer on fitting this...... How is your actual power feed attached to the table? |

Hi John, on my 626 the feed body is held on with four m6 cap screws into the table end block, the shaft on this side ( right ) is 120mm long. The shaft on the left is 65mm long so it looks as if the factory fit has a different lead screw. The drive end is held on with a castle nut and the drive is via the long key for the handle and drive collar. If my internet gets fixed today i will try and do a pic or three but at the moment i an running at 30kb so less than the old dial up speed...BT is not the same since i retired :doh: been on and off for weeks and still not fixed. So, different end block on the right side of the table and longer lead screw... Lyn. |

sent you a message John. Lyn. |

Lyn, Thanks for the update..... No message... My Align unit appears to fit on the rhs. The leadscrew doesnt appear to be long enough.. I'm guessing the poerfeed unit is bolted to the table end bracket that has the bearing in it? The left end of the leadscrew has a castellated nut and locking tab washer.... Still confused and bemused! I'm leaning towards making a new leadscrew that is long enough and of the right diameters.... Whatever you can help with much appreciated... :beer: |

John I'm writing about MY mill but the unit fits on the LEFT and engages the spacer( which engages the left long axis wheel ) The two odd screws- clamp the unit on to the swarf/ashtray/thingy. Crude way but it works. My problem is the plastic cover for the gear wheel Lets us know if this helps N NB Note my change- having been in the shed |
