Hello,
A question of tightening a cross feed.
I have a 9 x 20 (AL51G) Hare and Forbes lathe. Overall not a bad little machine.
However the cross feed has the standard 5+ graduations of slack between
moving the wheel and the slide beginning to react.
Has anyone tried machining a new screw and or internal thread, found a way to
tighten the action please?
The gib keys are properly adjusted, no slack in the slide itself.
Many thanks for any forthcoming advice,
Kind regards, Dennis
