173 forum posts 7 photos	Hi, I am having a problem with fitting the bed back in place on a centec milling machine. So far I have the bed on the knee slides and the gib in place. I can just about push the bed from side to side but turning the handle does nothing. The machine has power feed which makes the bed very heavy on one side. The gib is not set so it’s not putting any pressure on the bed. Can anyone please let me know if there is a correct method of fitting the bed to the knee to insure that the half nut is set correctly. I have tried looking at a copy of the manual but can’t find any information there. Thanks

Having read what I could find it appeared that the half nut was fitted on the machine and simply brought into engagement to move the table but I expect you had got that far ! Noel.
