My Index Super 55 is in pretty nice condition, but the table sure takes a fair amount of effort to move left/right. What are other peoples experience with Index mills from the 50s era? I've added some new grease, and the old that it displaced looks OK, but I think it takes too much effort to move. I'd compare it to the same effort as needed to raise the table. Could it be because of the power feed? (yes, it is dis-engaged when I'm turning the handle)
The non-rotating knobs on the handles don't help either. I'm thinking about making a replacement handle with a larger diameter and with a rotating knob.
