Happy New Year lads! Hope I'm in the right spot for my question. Looked in knowlege-base, but didn't find anything precisely on point.
My Grizzly G 0602 lathe compound slide is experiencing extreme foulage. It's either tight as hide or horribly loose. Not only that, but both of these undesirable conditions exist along the entire travel of the slide. Moreover, it comes to a hard stop well short of full extension. I've worked with the gib adjustment to no avail. Backlash too, is awful on both compound and cross slide. Again, adjustment procedures in manual meet with negative results.
Do I just need to undertake a total disassembly/rebuild on this little machine? My principal lathe is a high-quality precision toolroom machine with perfect, silky-smooth operation. It is totally trouble -free, whereas this beast has been a real POS from the get-go. It's making me crazy. Any pointers on disassembly will also be most happily received.
Thanks in advance boys!
