on mine you take the cover off the gearbox & there are 2 lock nuts... i dont have the c spanners for them yet....( rh student) |
| jonny neate:
From watt ive been told you can take the cross slide of and unbolt the top part of the carrige leaving the top of the apron open. Thats watt it lookes like in my user manual but not sure if i could remove the half nut without taking the apron right off. Watt work do you need to do to yours Mike ? Jonny |

couple of c spanners...... cant remember the size tho 45mm -1 1/2"? rings a bell I found I could not seperate teh carage & apron while the shafts were in... removing teh feed shaft made things more moveable but still caught up on the leadscrew... It all works so not a big issue, but ...... one day when I get some enthusiasm back I will go play.... at the moment work is driving me insane, I hate my job, but work for myself :loco: :loco: :palm: |

Mike do you think I could get to the half nut from inside the apron after taking the top off. Jonny Neate |
| Jonny:
Should be like the M300 then but havent actually had the half nuts out. Whip top off the half nuts are in between the back of the carriage and the bed. Remove the bracket holding the lead screw, fwd/reverse etc three cap hd screws and two nuts on end of the shafts complete with bearings, easy. Theres 7 or 8 cap hd bolts, leave the slotted adjusters in for gib strips. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n563/Jonhareng/Jons%20machining/DROCrossslideinstalled.jpg Take tailstock off and push the saddle half off end of bed, the half nuts will be visible then. The leadscrew and two others may want to move with the saddle, just keep pushing back in to gearbox. Wouldnt want to get the leadscrew out looks a right bitch on all Harrisons, 600 Group, Colchesters etc. |
