![]() 2207 forum posts 210 photos | Looks like the arrangement on a Myford. Loosen the allen screw in the collar under the slide first. That collar looks like it's split and threaded internally, so the handle/leadscrew should then unscrew from the collar.
Sorry for the brief reply, off out now. Bill
