Hi all,
I was using the rapid traverse lever on my FP-2 when suddenly all the auto feeds stopped working (X,Y or Z) and the the main table X direction is nearly locked up, requires two hands on the hand wheel to even move it.
I have begun disassembly of the X table to find the issue, so far I have removed:
The lock gib
The table gib
The support casting at the left end
The bronze threaded bushing on the left side and and the bushing on the right
The hand-wheel is completely disengaged and spins freely, still the table won't budge.
Any ideas on what my next step should be?
Thanks
Montreal
