Help! Bridgeport slide kaput
It got to the end of the stroke with the power feed & jumped the track in there
so that it no longer moves left to right. I have heard of this happening before and in fact seen it, but I forget what you do to set it to rights. I have this vague memory that there is a collar in there that encloses the worm gear that is designed to separate in extreme circumstances. This is an old change belt drive model. With an Acu-Rite DRO. Where can I go for guidance? Thank You, -plh -- Where are we going and why am I in this HAND BASKET?? |

Otherwise the hand cranks would move it, but the power feed would spin idly. It least it would seem logical that it would be that way in the case of a sheared shear pin in the power feed unit.

Could the screw possibly have moved out of the nut? Can you push the table to the right by hand, while simultaneously turning the handle? -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.

Get a flashlight and look under the table where the screw goes through the nut. Chances are, you pulled the nut out of the holder. You also probably broke the tensioning bolt and the retaining screw. (Don't ask how I know this) |
