William thank you so much, that was exactly all the information I needed!

Nuts removed both sides and after some persuasion the bevel assembly freed up and gave way to movement - awesome! However the spindle assembly really doesn't want to pull off the front so I may investigate undoing the 4 allen bolts visible when at 90* to remove the entire top section.

One other query I have, would you be able to tell me the function of this lever please?

Thread bump!

(Hello!)

Would anybody here be able to help out with some of the basics of this machine (BCA Jig Borer) please, such as how to remove the spindle slide, or how to enable the bevel function?

Please forgive the fact that I am brand new to this type of machine and it’s operations so I am very much still discovering the correct terminology. The problem is the machine I have needs some TLC and a good clean-up, but I can’t move it at its current weight, so removing sections to clean individually seems the way forward. The knee and table were easily removed, but as for the vertical slide ... it appears to be bolted on either side, though the nuts are seized and I thought it best to query before getting myself into a situation. And if indeed these are the fixing bolts then I can’t see how it’s possible to swivel for a bevel.

A bit of a vague post I know, but if anyone has owned this machine or is at least familiar with it, help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Rob
