I have a J head without quill feed. Was this an option or a standard feature on this head?
I suspect that this machine was damaged at some point in time because the spline on the end of the spindle has a twist in it and was machined to bring the spline grooves back to straight.
If this was a standard feature then maybe the quill feed was also damaged and everything was removed while the head was being repaired.
I'm sure someone here knows if this was an optional feature.
Also, if my suspicion is correct, what else should I be checking?
