        img_5721.jpegimg_5720.jpegArrrrgggh!
        Every step of the way this *%**ing thing fights me!

        Sorry. Hello everyone- can you advise me how to remove the locking pin from the cross slide carriage please? See photo. I feel like giving it a huge whack woth a giant hammer and centre pinch but not sure that is prudent! Lol.

        We have purchased a new compound slide base to give more stability but can’t fit without removing that pin. Any suggestions please?

        Thank you

          I think from an earlier post you can just prize the round base off the compound now that the three screw shave been removed without worrying about the pin.

          Is there an opening on teh opposite side? I don't think there is so driving it out with a Flat ended poun dpunch or bar is not going to work. Sonetimes the imported machines have the insid eof the blin droll pins tapped so you can put a screw into them an dthen pull on the screw to remove the pin.

            Thought so image of my larger machine's one removed with pin still in place. You have even poste dpicture sof your topslide with the clamp plate and round bottom removed so if you have done it once it will come off again.

              Thanks Jason – we gently (and I promise I mean gently) prized the two parts apart – and this happened! Now we are in a whole world of pain becase the stud thing is part of the slide?

                We thought of a way around it. Drill the remains of the stud out, tap the saddle to M12, then make a new steel stud, tapped M12 into the slide.

                  As there is no pulling force on the stud you could just loctite a piece of 12mm dia steel into a 12mm hole.

                    That’s a great suggestion. Which Loctite do you recommend? I have seen Ade Swash etc use it be

                    But never managed to see the part no.

                      Now thats what you call an open grain castiron ! As to loctite use what you have or can blag. They all work. Cleaning the hole is vital for good results – acetone or paint thinners – cellulose. Noel

                        If you are going out to buy some then 638 or similar by another maker

                          I am just wondering, would a threaded stud, tapped into the slide, be a better fix than gluing? I guess it would be stronger and although the piece doesn’t take any stress, it isn’t something I want to keep redoing if it fails.

                            More chance of getting a true plain hole than tapping it. Same goes for (hand) threading a piece of bar M12

                              Very true. Ordering the Loctite now. Thank you.

                                I was going to suggest boring out / reaming both pieces and then Loctiting in a piece of silver steel

                                Ah! Chicken and egg, you need the lathe operable to machine the two broken pieces!

                                Possibly someone from the Copventyry Club would help you by doing the boring /reaming?
