| DaveH:
Roy, I supose it has been take out of the chuck by now. If not you could put a dti on the topslide and see if it "tracks" zero along the taper. :beer: DaveH |
| BillTodd:
How is the top-slide fixed to the cross-slide? I'm wondering if the top-slide could be warped by the fixing bolts if overtightened or tightened down on a small piece of debris. Bill |
| wheeltapper:
thanks for the suggestions lads. I just stripped the topslide down to its component parts, polished the dovetails and the gib strip with a fine diamond stone, washed it all in white spirit and reassembled it. I've adjusted the gib so there's an even drag all the way along. tomorrow I'll try another taper and see what happens. Roy. |
| jim:
is the top slide parallel to the spindle?? that's about the only thing i could see that would cause this |
| DaveH:
Roy, Let us know what happends - :beer: DaveH |
