Looking good mick,are you going to power it up before you paint it ?remember when I did the head on the bridgeport,I had to take it apart again because the power feed on the quill was not engaging correct,had to repaint the twat again, :thumbup:
NickG:
Thanks Mick, might have a look at that tonight.
NickG:
Tried adjusting that and backed the spring tension right off as far as I dare - still about 1/2 of threads on collar engaged. This has improved things but still drags when disengaged in low gears. I didn't bother trying to screw the other top hat apart, I think I'd need to shorten it but it was fully home. Think this would need stripping down somewhat to find out what the problem was.
gndurant:
Hello again Mick,
Just wondered if you'd made any progress on the lathe re-build recently? Or is the next step of painting putting you off?!
Cheers
Graeme
