Re: More bloody slop found
|
May want to check the bushings at each end of the hinge pin, and the pin itself. Might need to replace one or more of them. Do you have access to a surface plate? If so that would help you check the pin. I'd strip the paint off it first. If you have a decent table saw, you could use that, or make a reasonable facsimile with a piece of plate glass, a la David Gingery.?
Bushings can wallow out, where the hole just gets larger more or less evenly, or they may wear an oval hole, crack, etc. That may give you quite a lot of slop. Mike the ends of the pin, because grit or dust in the lube, ar a lack of lube can cause wear on the ends of the pin as well as inside the bushing. A lap is a softer metal full of grit used to smooth or polish something, usually.? But an oilite bushing can become an impromptu lap.?
Good luck getting it fixed!?

Afternoon all,? I wanted to see if i could adjust the clamp screws on the counter shaft and as usual found something else.? Its hard to describe so i will use the part numbers and try to attach pics.? The hanger (part no. 9-21) can slide along the hinge pin (9-123) just over 3/16" parallel to the bed.? the hanger can also twist perpendicular to the bed about 40 thou on its pin.

Many thanks
