Umm, how does it work?
I recently picked up a nice 10K and while I can get the power feed to work longitudinally I can't figure out the power cross feed. I assumed that the three position lever behind the power feed engagement lever was it but if the lever is in either the top or bottom the power feed engagement doesn't move. In the center I get power feed longitudinally but nothing otherwise.
I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious but a couple of machinist friends weren't able to figure it out either (spoiled Hardinge owners) since none of us has ever used a South Bend. Either something is broken (which I'm doubting since the machine is in really nice shape) or I'm missing something.
Oh, not sure if it matters but it has a taper attachment. Here's a photo:
