Between 11.30 and 12.30 there is a faint outline of a key or am Iwrong again.

I thought so also but if it was there it is gone and very smooth. I think it probably had a key at one time but the machine as only used to debur parts. So it was used by someone that did not know what they were doing i'm sure.

Things are back together now. I have some issues with the gearing lineup but will sort through that in a few days. Getting the motor and pulleys mounted. Ive ordered now wiper retainers and they should be here in a week or so. Is is coming along just slow. Thought I would give an update.

Which gears are not lining up? And what was the outcome for the crossfeed missing keyway?

Glad your getting is all together.

Could you post a pic of the gears that are not lining up?

Bill Rosselot · Mar 17, 2016

Here is the pictures, Ive I reassembled these just like they came off and now they dont line up very well and they tend to loosen up after I set them with the correct lash and turn the spindle a few times by hand. also I think Ive got the lead screw to tight because at the low tread counts we bind up and there is alot of flexing of the double 48tooth gears that mesh with the gearbox.
I think that maybe I have the wrong thickness of washers in the backs of these going to check my book, but not sure going to keep working at it.

I think that gear is the sliding gear, it should move to wither of the gears it meshes to. I'll get you some pictures later.

I found a miter gear with a key in it. The old one must have been so worn that you could not tell if it had a key or not.

ok cool I think I need a washer behind the double 48tooth gears to bring them out some.

schor · Mar 17, 2016

Here's some pictures. The gear slides, you can see the alignment is not great on this one either but I think I should be able to fix that by removing 1 washer. I just havn't got to taking this part apart yet.

Thanks
I will look at that
