109 forum posts 23 photos	hello Duncan, I think the 2B head is the same as the 2A. If this is the case then the fast feed lever is mounted on the spindle by the nut and a taper. You cannot remove the spindle as the other end to the lever ,is fitted with a key and the slow feed wormwheel. that is to say you can remove it but will loose the control of the head downfeed! Regards Paul.

5307 forum posts 83 photos	Thanks, but I've obviously not explained it properly, I want to remove the table quick feed spindle, not the quill downfeed

58 forum posts	Hi, Just looking at my 2B,there is a recess hole at the back of the 'Y' axis slide (on top of the knee) in line with the quick feed capstan spindle at the front. In the recess is a retaining nut which will need a box spanner to remove.The spindle assembly should come out then,remembering that the quick feed pinion is keyed to this spindle.Hope this helps. Laurence B.
