| 451 forum posts 268 photos | Hi Clogs, When you rotated the head it is possible that one of the tee nuts has got caught up in the access slot where the tee nuts fit in the radial "T" slot .This is most likely to be in the position facing forward when you stand in front of the machine ,slacken each of the nuts a little and try to rock the head a little whilst just feeling if the nut /tee bolt is in position. My Warco mill had a similar situation until modified. Good luck. John |
