I purchased a 1963 manual KO Lee Surface grinder, S612. While using it the x-axis table travel started "freewheeling". The pinion still engages the track near both ends of the travel. So it appears to be a worn pinion and track.
Called LeBlond for replacement of the 15.38" track & pinion. They have them, but it's more than I paid for the whole grinder. Any suggestions? I've been using it to regrind the ends of gage pins, light cuts & haven't even "used-up" one grinding wheel.
Cheers,
Lynn
