Back again...
I ended up using my 2 ton shop crane and took the lathe apart, piece by piece to get all of it off the trailer and on the floor.
Back to the mill... Now I have even more incentive to get the mill back together.... I'm running out of real estate and I can't have two projects on the go at once...
I had a bit of an oil leak in the transfer case, but it looks like I have that solved. There was some free time this last weekend, so I started putting parts back onto the mill.
First thing was the cross slide components...
The cross slide feeds didn't work before I took things apart, but by manipulating things mechanically, everything works as it should. The transfer case overhaul was well worth it.
Next was the components on the left side of the knee. There are two limit switches, one mechanical one for the cross slide and an electrical one for the knee. In addition, there is a lever that coordinates the knee feeds and the cross feeds, which was frozen before, but now works like a charm...
Next to install was the compound table swivel...
The compound swivel table is held in place by 4 sets of double set screws and four 1/2" ball bearings. I replaced the ball bearings with new ones and adjusted everything to a nice rolling fit, without any play...
Next was the electrical control boxes for the rapid traverse and limit switches...
Lastly, I installed the oiling cups at the back of the compound swivel table with new wicking and will wait to see that they are all working properly before I install the rest of the components for the table...
