I recently acquired Supermax 16 YCI, '89.
the fine manual downfeed quill wheel is gone. There is a manual pdf that I was able to find, it shows it. I looked online and I see a lot of mills for sale without it as well. Is that normal?
I'm not quiet certain how the mechanism operates, i.e. how to engage it. The manual references to a few things, but never specifies where they are located on the machine.
So this wheel, I can see that it goes over this protruding shaft and engages with the base with a pin. This same shaft also has ability to be pulled/pushed into three positions. Manual says that those are forward, neutral and revers. That makes little sense for a handwheel that could be turned in both directions (i.e. turn one way to down, opposite to up)
Would anyone be able to post pictures of the wheel? I can figure out dimensions, but not sure if it has some weird magical abilities with additional features on it, or is it just plain wheel. How is it retained on the machine?
The spindle locking lever is also missing. Would anyone be able to post pictures of one, especially what the surface that contacts the milling head looks like?
Also, there is a quill manual downfeed lever (like on a drill press) How is it retained on the machine, is it kept on or is it used when needed?
many thanks in advance!
