So, I made a momentary blunder yesterday and ran the table too far to the right (I forgot I had one stop temporarily removed from when I was making a t-nut and new movable stop a bit ago....The hazards of being a hobbyist and having too many things going on and not enough continuous time in the shop). I've removed the right handwheel and bracket as I've seen recommended before and I still can't get the table to crank back with the left wheel. I think the feed lever and gears are what's stuck.
Can somebody clarify what I need to do to get it popped loose without hurting anything. I tried to rotate the feed driveshaft and it seems pretty firmly stuck as well (though I also can't get a good drip on the round shaft). Would loosening the gib and pulling it to the right a bit give me the wiggle room I need, or is there something I'm missing to get the feed driveshaft to wiggle free?
Any help for an idiot in distress is greatly appreciated!
