Hafco AL336 - disconnect leadscrew
Wondering if any Hafco Metalmaster AL336 owner has disconnected the lead screw from the gearbox?
My AL336D has a lead screw cover which restricts travel and doesn't allow the saddle to get close enough to the workpiece when I clamp it in a collet. I need to remove it and this task involves disconnecting the lead screw so the cover can slide off.
I have read the instructions for the lathe and for the lead screw cover but neither mention lead screw details.
I suspect that I have to knock out the [brass] shear pin from the sleeve which connects the lead screw to gearbox output shaft, but I'd like to confirm this with someone more experienced.
Any comments or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks for reading my first post in this forum.
