So I got this lathe last year and I just got around to getting the VFD installed and wiring it up. It runs well with the VFD and I have even retained the reeves drive speed adjustment.
The feed lever however, is not adjusted correctly and is possibly broken. It does engage, but it is far too loose. I found the operation and maintenance manual and attempted to follow the adjustment procedure. The lever spins freely, and I could not locate set screw "U" on the lever. There is just an empty hole there.
I have not disassembled the apron yet and I was hoping to avoid that if possible. Anyone with a little more experience with these lathes have a suggestion?
