Criterion 203 head problem?

[Eyerelief]

I have one as well, but I have yet to take it apart. If you get yours open I would greatly appreciate seeing inside.

The Excello is enjoying some downtime at the moment so I thought I would put the criterion in it so you guys could see it in action. In this CRUDE setup I set the tenths adjustment to .003 and dialed it back to 0

Yeah, I definitely got short changed...

I don’t think I am good enough to peel off a tenth with the half inch bars I have but I am a tightwad. I believe the boring bars and temps are flexing enough to keep me guessing. Does help when I am closing in on the target tho.

When you get into tenths, I believe it is time to break out the hone.

When I get into tenths I usually break out the Tylenol and Jack Daniels. Shop dog executes an emergency egress about then

I will post if I get in it. I can’t find anything online in a manual for it.

If I remember correctly the adjustment is under the collar.

Just talked to Allied Machine, who bought Criterion, they have no information or engineering drawings for the tenth setting boring head.

I looked through all my stuff for you last night, couldn't find anything either. Have you parted the tenths adjustment ring from the boring head yet?
