atlas horiz mill - back gear engage ?
The mill is running great. Sure is handy for slotting/slitting.
I just made a new handle for the back gear engage eccentric and I read that a "sliding pin" must be disengaged on the large spindle gear but I cannot find the damn thing. Anybody know where it is and how to disengage it ? Thanks, BW |

The gear has a recess and the pin is in the recess when engaged and totally hidden by the gear teeth. Here is a picture of it disengaged: http://home.comcast.net/~bobengelhardt/atlaspin.jpg To find it, you stick your pin tool in the recess and turn the gear until the pin bumps the tool. I know, you don't have a pin tool. Well I didn't either and made this one: http://home.comcast.net/~bobengelhardt/atlastool.jpg As a matter of scale, the stock is 1/2 x 1/8 more or less. You'll need the tool to engage the pin as well. HTH, Bob |
