I have to study so that I can rise up to the level of knowing nothing at all. Truly out of my element here but I am an old man with a bunch of tools so I sure hope I can figure this thing out.
This is a very old unit with a 6' bed. the serial number is 8342
The head stock and tail stock are solid, however the cross slide has quite a bit of play in the threads.
I tore it down and cleaned it up, the Gibs adjusted well and maintain a nice smooth run full throw.
Not sure how to get the play out of it. over a hundred thou.
I honestly will try to learn by searching and not just show up and start asking dumb questions. (actually most of my questions are pretty dumb)
