hi
I have problem on my lathe in that when automatic feeds are selecting for facing/sliding I get no
response.
I have traced problem to pinion shaft that should be driven by the long shaft that is below lead screw
which I will call the sliding shaft. unfortunately although drawing I have in manual shows exploded view of apron it does not show the rear of the apron or this pinion shaft which sits in the apron casting.
the sliding shaft which turns with no problem have a slot running nearly its whole length & this go
through the pinion shaft in question & I conclude that from this slot should drive the pinion shaft by means of a key or such.
However on inspection of the hole through the pinion shaft there appears to be nothing for it to be
driven by.
So I was wondering if anyone have any experience with this model & could provide some guidance.
