My 1972 series I is running well. I tore down and rebuilt it myself, including the j head. One thing I can't figure, is the feedback I feel in the quill feed handle. I only feel it when the spindle is turning. When off, the quill feed is silky smooth.
The feedback seems to vary with rpm. It just feels like the slight resistive force in the handle that is rhythmic with rpm. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm feeding in or out.
The quill power feed worm is disengaged. The power feed, when engaged, work just fine, forward and reverse, and the trip levers work fine.
Is this normal? I'm new to Bridgeports and machining in general.
Thanks!
