New Visby compound slide disassembly advice
Hi Everyone,
I am wanting to disassemble the compound slide and give it a good clean because it barely moves. I removed it from the cross slide and have been soaking it in penetrene.
The total range of travel available is less than 10mm. There are a couple of issues immediately apparent. Firstly, there is a spring loaded poppet that is designed to allow registration of the tool post at 90 degree intervals. The poppet has compressed and is seized and it appears that the boss that it mounts into has migrated downwards and thus impedes the operation of the compound. Is this just pressed into place with an interference fit? Can I just drive it back to flush? Ideally I would like to remove the boss and retaining pin and free up the poppet.
Secondly, I have removed one of the gib screws but the screw at the wide end is bent and looks like it has sheared at some point. Also is it normal for machines manufactured in the 40's to have gibs that protrude past flush?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Flo
