Hello folks,
I've bought a Colchester Master 2500 3 years ago and everything has been working well so far. However, when I was working on the lathe yesterday, I recognized that the feed from right to left doesn't work anymore. Both the lead screw and the feed shaft don't turn. It still works in the opposite direction (if the lever on the top left is switched up).
Today I wanted to have a look into the gearbox, but I have no idea how to open it. All the screws and levers have been removed, but the cover won't come off. It seems like it was glued to the housing.
Does anyone have an idea how to get that cover off and what could be the cause for the defective feed?
Thank you!
Cheers,
B
