Hello,
For a small year I have a Prvomajska ALG100 mill from 1959 I believe.
Yesterday I was cranking out all of my XYZ travels, when cranking up the knee the key that drives the power feed shaft snapped loose and dropped out.
Probably related to the issue that de Z-axis feed doesn't go in neutral that well.
So I want to fix that issue also, and also want to mount back the feed "joystick" that was removed by the previous owner.
He probably removed it because of the problems with the Z powerfeed.
Now the problem comes, I dont have the right manual for my machine. And I've seen a post about a related issue on a German forum "zerspanungsbude" but I cant register there.
Anyone has some advice for me? Guess I'll have to tear the mill apart for all this?
I also want to reduce the backlash in all of my axes before mounting a DRO to the mill.
