I picked up a 30 taper fixed shank UPA 3 on ebay for cheap since it looked messy and the seller did not bother to put the name in the listing.
It had obviously been relegated to some repeat production task as it was locked in place, and the two outer bar holder holes were entirely filled with compacted swarf glued in place with dried coolant.
I spent a long time taking it apart, but with the proper tools it all went well.
After disassembling and very through cleaning it appears to be in OK shape and will certainly be accurate enough for my needs assuming I can
1. find repair parts
and
2. modify the shank
It is missing some of the bits that make up the feed system.
Basically the little "feed pin" on the back, and whatever goes in the hole that is meant to retain the feed pin.
I have the parts list and the "manual", but neither one has an exploded view showing what parts go where.
Has anyone ever taken the feed pin system apart?
I sent Wohlhaupter an email with my questions but have not heard back (it has been a week).
Perhaps a more specific email with the parts I need would get a better response.
Can you help me figure out which parts I need to order from Wohlhaupter?
Thanks, and if anyone is interested I have a bunch more photos of the inside parts.
