Hello, I have a 3 in 1 machine that has sort of a round column to raise and lower the milling head. It's about exactly in the center of the picture below. The column is threaded so that you can use its collar to raise the head up. The problem is I can't get the head to go down once I've raised it up. The only way I've been able to lower the head is by carefully hammering on it. Is there a better way?
You can see the pinch bolt at the lower left of the Smithy belt speed chart. True confession, I have tightened that pinch bolt pretty tight a few times. It is very aggravating when the head moves during a milling operation.... Thanks in advance for your suggestions! Best Regards, Dave
