Hi
I have gone through the old threads looking for someone or place that might have some parts for my old BS 612 manual machine. I have a dead spot in the z axis lead screw. I put an indicator on it to check and it moves good until it hits the dead spot and I can crank it 020-025" before it moves again. I also need new spindle bearings. It's a nice little machine and I can make do with the noise but not the lost motion in the spindle movement.
Anyone have any resources? While a 714 would be nice I don't have a lot of floor space so I would like to get this 612 in better shape.
Thanks in advance.
Gary
