I was checking my tailstock alignment and it was 0.36 mm low. My Shaublin 160 tailstock (shaublin 160-67 starwheel) height adjustment is made by adjusting a tapper. Unfortunately, the tapper does not not seem to be working properly. This is the first time I have used this adjustment since I bought this old machine second-hand some years ago.
I turned the cap screw at the back of the tapper and it moved a little but then just rotates and the tapper does not move. It may be threaded. Now when I turn it in any direction it does not move.
I am a novice and have had no mechanical training at all, I was in the medical field before I retired. What I am trying to say is I do not know how to separate the tapered parts to check them. Any help would be appreciated.
If anyone has the drawings/manual it would also be greatly appreciated.
I believe the Shaublin 150 and 160 have the same type of tailstock.
