Thanks Jonny im going to have a look when i get time, but the half nut in mine is on the left side of the apron,so i cant see how sliding the back of the carrige of the bed will help,but i will take tghe top off and have a look. Jonny Neate |

Jonny Neate --- End quote --- did not seem to be able to remove the top with the apron still attached...... looks like there is a fixing/rubbing strip onto the front of the carrage |

Hello Mike I think the top comes off leaving the apron behind. When I get the chance to see one of the engineers at work I will ask him he,s sure to know. Jonny |

Jonny --- End quote --- thanks... that would be great removed the rear guide, & all the bolts through the carrage, feedscrew etc.... everything that I could find, they would move apart, but could not lift off the carrage & apron was hung up on lead/feed.... looked like there was an anti-lift/ gib/ alignment fitting attached to teh carrage "inside" the apron that I could not see how to access without remofing the leadscrew first.. |

Mike , had a go at it today and you are completely right in watt you say. The right way to do it is to remove the feed shaft and leedscrew and wind the whole carrige of the end of the bed after removing the tailstock. I did speek to someone today who managed to remove the top without taking out the feed shaft and leed screw but his way was far to brutal for me to try. He levered a gap about an inch wide between the top and apron by flexing the leedscrew and wound the apon along the bed leeving the other part behind ,he said that there were gib strips as you said there might be on the front side. Like I say far to brutal. Reguads Jonny |
