a bridgeport head question

The answer is probably the same as Peter Neill's recent problem. I had it aswell.

The resolution maybe here:

or as described here

Charles

I think Charles is probably right with the first link he posted. If it's quiet in high speed it's less likely that the dog clutches are worn, and the low-speed noise may well be coming from the fact that dog clutches aren't properly disengaging (they are lifted out of engagement by rotating the cam ring) and the edges of the dogs will knock each other as the spindle rotates. Usually caused by worn cam pins not lifting the pulley high enough.

Peter

top is loose , it came out whilst waggling the lever , but in my wisdo looked at it and as it had no thread and didnt look sheared i jus pushed it back in ! its roughly 11 yrs since ive used a bridgeport s ive got a lot of learning to do again .......
