I have an early FP-1, (1952) that I damaged, and am now putting back together. Through this forum, I was able to acquire a new x axis screw and nut, and replacement z axis handwheel. Other parts, I brass brazed back together, and fitted.
While removing the damaged leadscrew ( fell off a forklift), I pounded away, to push out the acme nut. I also managed to shear off the locating pin, on the x axis drive key.
I have removed the table again, a small 3mm setscrew, and removed the left-right shift dog. The feed clutch rotates freely. The feed clutch also has the sheared off pin from the keyway. I need to remove it. So far clawing at it, and strong magnets won't remove the pin.
How do I remove the feed clutch? I am afraid to damage the gearing. Do I have to take apart further? Thanks. Scott
