Stretched the tailstok ram
The ram wouldn't retract more than about halfway.
I took it all apart, looked for debris saw essentially none but cleaned anyway, stoned the edges of the keyway, it still started to stick about halfway. I was sure I hadn't bent it or anything... The chuck taper was still in the ram, good and tight; popped that out and no stick. Last drilling job was pushing a Forstner bit through plastic pipe to make it a little bit bigger ID. I guess it got hot, the ram grew, the taper went in more. |
