Trying to use my taper attachment for the first time. It is the "Plain Taper" attachment for the SB9lathe. Got is set up for an MT 2. I disconnected the cross feed screw as stated in HTRAL book. Note that photo shows screw back in place. In an event it should be noted that with the screw in, the cross slide is very tight to move, unlike when the taper attachment is not mounted.
Here is the main question. How do I feed the cross slide in and out with the cross feed removed. It just spins freely. I did loosen the top clamp. Help would be greatly appreciated.
