Just doing a countershaft rebuild at the moment, and the grub screw holding the double pulley on to the shaft on the inside should bear down onto a slot in the shaft. So loosen this screw and tap the pulley to give the required clearance. Regards, Chris |

52 forum posts 1 photos | Hi John, I can't see any holes in the main shaft, but there is a ball oiler on the back gear and also a grub screw on the main shaft pulley. This grub screw is 5/16 BSW. Neither of the machines here have oil holes on on the front of the saddle other than ball oilers for the slides. There is a 1/4 BSW hole tucked away to the right hand end of the table stop tee slot, but not sure whether that is for oiling. Regards, Chris |
