Hi guys,
I was just cleaning up some of the lot 5 parts and I got to the lead
screw bushing. I think that's what this is called. It's the part that
screws into the saddle that the lead screw goes thru and the dial ring
would ride up against.The part that gets replaced at the Turk Works and
gets a little thrust bearing hidden in.
There are two pins thru the part of it where the 0 line is. They
are at right angles to each other. They're kind of hard to see in the
pictures I posted in with my lathe files, so I lightened them a little
and drew little arrows to them.
Anyone know what they're there for? They need just a little more
stock for one more of these on Friday afternoon and all they had was a
piece with two holes drilled in it so they put some pins in there?
Practice job for one of the apprentice's? Like, Ok kid, here's what you
do if you accidentally drill a hole in the wrong place on a part you
need?
Ok, I'm gonna post the pic's real quick and turn off my computer.
Damn thunderstorm again and this one sounds like a doozy! They just
won't leave us alone lately.
