I have a #3 M-1200 S?N 712749 that has I believe worn out clutches. The chuck can be held by hand in "low" and stopped with a little force with a wood block against the chuck in "high". There is no difference if fwd. or rev. also the lock bolt on the check end,(low speed, metallic clutch) is in so far the head of the bolt has been cut by the large gear there. The high speed clutch,( fibrous lining), is as tight as I can make it. The cone is recessed into the clutch drum by about a 1/16 of an inch. Does this sound like it is worn out?
I am NOT a machinist and would use this for cutting bushings and more as I learn. I have the machine as it was delivered free and has cost only the electric hook-up, phase converter and $100.00 of oil for it. Everything seems to move manual and under power but no power at the chuck. Do you guys think this thing will be hundreds or thousands to fix? Even at hundreds I will probably just try to get it out of my way, there is no tooling or cross slide tool holder, just a center and Jacobs chuck in the turret.
It also has a defense plant corp. tag is it WWII vintage? I would guess yes.
Thanks for the advice, Greg
