Hello to all forum members.

I am new to this forum but not new to the use of machine tools.

I have an Emco V11 with a milling attachment and recently

purchased an FB2 that needs a lot of work to be back to working order.

I have to machine new lead screws nuts and gibs as also a major

paint job.

Can any one help with an FB2 parts list? I need to see how some things

come together correctly.

Thanks in advance

John from Greece

Welcome along John, enjoy the forum.

Hi John welcome to the forum. There are members with that mill on here who should help. What are you interested in making.

Hello David

Thank you for the welcome.

Should i post my questions on the "Manual machine tools" Topic?

The previous owner of the FB2 somehow replaced the Y axis trapezoidal screw

with a square thread screw. Not the best choice i believe.

I have somehow to figure out if i can trust the overal dimensions of this screw

to fabricate a trapezoidal one (total length?)

Thanks

Hi John,

Welcome to the forum. The FB2 was discussed earlier on this forum, see here, there is also a link to a manual (in German) in that thread.

Hello Thor

Thank you very much for the link, it is exactly what i was asking for.

I had a parts list but the page with the XY table was missing,

this now is complete!!!

Welcome to the forum John, I'm glad thor has helped you, we aim to please. Noel

Thanks

Hope to be helpful too in the future for anyone else.

Hi again. My lathe has a square thread for all axis traverse, cross slide and compound slide. No problems with my lathe accuracy so personally I would just keep it as us as long as there is no excessive play. Made in about 1950 a Myford.
