Smith & Mills shaper side feed
I just got my 25" Smith & Mills shaper up and running. Everything works as
it should. That is, except the side feed. I can't hear/feel the feed shaft turning at all when under power. Left and right direction selection lever does nothing. Power traverse is not connected electrically. Manual crank moves the table. I figure there is something I need to do to engage the feed, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas? I've had this thing sitting in the garage for years now & I would really like to get it fully operational. Thanks! -- John L. Weatherly please remove XXXs to reply via email |

I was able to find someone with the same machine. Ends up it was a broken shear pin. -- John L. Weatherly please remove XXXs to reply via email |
