I didn't fully understand how the traverse was supposed to be working on my lathe until yesterday :P But rereading through the catalog and some posts on here I figured out that something wasn't right. At some point in the past when someone was "fixing" it they cut the wires to the traverse motor.(they also cut the wires to the coolant pump, and replaced the reverse button with a washer) I wired the motor back up and it's turning the shaft now, but the travers levers aren't doing anything. They don't even seem like they're trying to engage anything. Is there some clutch or something that needs to be tweaked or do I need to figure out how to tear the apron apart to see what's going on in there?
