I am having trouble getting my cross slide to work correctly and can not get compound slide to work at ali. I think I must me doing something wrong.
on the cross slide power feed It works if I move the lever that determines with slide power feed in to right and up position then use the lever for split nut.
the compound slide if I movepower feed lever to left and down everything is locked up, and will n0t move
also the clutch shaft does not move, how do I check to make sure it is engaged, it does not rotate no mater what I do.
I bought lathe about 2 1/2 years ago while I was fighting cancer and it took long time for me to get it set up and running and I do not work in garage or run machines if metal temp goes below 55f, its not good for the lathe, I don't think it will harm my mill but any way I don't use in cold, ( I now have heat in shop for up coming winter)
I have only made a few simple parts with lathe and I baby it since I don't have money to replace I take care of it,
Can someone point me in right direction so I can really start making some chips, I still have work waiting in the wings to get done, Health is well enough I can run these machines
