Half Nut Adjustment?

<< < (3/3)

Andy, I'll test it out and also look out for swarf.

Marcello, I'll take a closer look when I get home. Need to find that camera tripod to hold it do that I can get closer and, at the same time, shine a torchlight in there.

I hope it just me that is the problem, though the experience with Proxxon 4 jaw independent chuck is bad. I have a blog post on it.

Wong,

referring to Your first post, I have ideas You should have the two halves of part 36 sliding rather smoothly on the two guides #37, left and right.
Check for burrs or chips in that area, or misalignments among the guides. 
Cannot see Part 38 face from the drawings, but I suppose You'll find a couple of spiral grooves there, to engage the halfnuts pins: all the parts should move when very little force is applied.

HTH

Marcello,

The half nut opens and closes smoothly.

I've taken a video which shows that the bottom reaching the lead screw first.



Regards,
Wong
