I will pick up the machine this weekend. I was told there was a parts supplier in Portland, Oregon that could get "any parts for this machine". I have not found that business, does anyone else know of them? I'll need a motor pulley, but will likely cast a blank and machine my own, still, I'd like a local source of parts. The X axis leadscrew nut may need attention...

Thanks,
Rex

Thanks Billy G! I had looked on that site for dealers, after I got back in town and saw your post, I looked again under submenu "Service centers". There are 4 in Portland, so I'll call soon and see what luck I have.

Both leadscrews and nuts are worn, but a DRO will reduce that problem - however, the knee tilts down in front by .006" over a 10 inch sweep. I've more work to do to determine if the gib is worn beyond adjustment, or if the knee is worn so badly it tilts. If the knee is worn, I may have to decide whether it's worth trying to fix it.

You also need to find a service center. Once you have that just call them and they will tell you what is available. What is happening is you are typing in out of service things. No longer made will show up as a big fat "0". Talk to the oldest guy there. Most can cross reference in their heads. Good luck.
