Well,
I in the not so distant past, purchased a Traub A25 Screw machine... two vertical slides, longitudinal cut attachment, single tailstock. Got it up and running, but found that the clutch mechanism, and hence the cams, will not turn reliably...I expect a shear pin somewhere in the cam drive arrangement...occasionally it will revolve for a few turns, then stick. I do know that the machine had this problem before I received it, as it had been parted a bit (parts replaced). There are, no doubt, a few of the readership on the site familiar with the Traubs. Before I delve into the mechanism...any advice on the repair?
Purchased the machine for...$200, and it came with a complete set of manuals, complete collet set, complete gear set...no bar-feed, however it does have the optional bar shut-off.
