Because my mill was tied up with another project, I decided to use my shaper to make a nut for a quick change tool post.
Encountered a problem I could use some help or advise with.
I can adjust the length of stoke but I can't set the position of the ram. In order to turn the adjusting screw (S7-103),
I have to use a big wrench.
That ain't right.
I've tried loosening the ram plates and the ram gibs.
No joy.
What am I missing?
Seems the last time I used the shaper, I could fairly easily turn the adjusting screw (S7-103) with the crank (S7-100).
I'm concerned that if I put too much torque on the screw (S7-103), I'll strip the bevel gears on it and on the screw (S7-37).
Thanks.
