Yeah, I think I'll turn this into a soap opera. Maybe the title should be "As the Table Feeds"
Connected electrical power to my table feed gearbox. Re-wired motor from 440v to 220v. power it up and motor runs, gears turn. No broken gear teeth. Looking good so far. What the heck, I have the table leadscrew cleaned up and back in, so installed the stack of gears on the end of the leadscrew, table driveshaft and hung the feed gearbox. It seems to move the table left and right. Missing a few small parts, snap rings, a spacer, a thrust bearing, and the biggie, a handwheel. Still a ways to go, the gearbox needs clean out and fresh oil. This is the first time the x-axis feed has been on the machine since I've owned it. Amazing, lol.
