I acquired a Precision Universal Tool Company boring head and had to disassemble since someone broke the adjustment pinion gear. I found an old posting on another forum warning about disassembly because of all the tiny internal ball bearings but I had no choice but to disassemble so I could clean it out.
It's not really that bad if you take it apart in a plastic tub to contain all the parts and had tweezers to reassemble all the ball bearings. Problem is, after I reassembled I noticed the tool block (that holds the boring bars) doesn't retract to center line of the head itself.
In picture of the bottom the black line is center of head, red line is center line of tool block.
Does anyone else have one of these and can confirm if their head is the same or if yours retracts where center lines line up.
I've disassembled and numerous times trying different things to see if I could get it to line up and everything ends up with same result.
