Shaper problem

Rick,

Nice bit of lateral thinking there.

A relief when things come together.

Another solution would be to cut a groove across a few end threads so that they act as a form of cutter.

I've done this on many occasion when cleaning out/tidying tapped holes, and it works a treat.

Yngvar – Thanks for the pics. Your machine seems different to mine. Mine is the "NEW ALBA 1A". I have a copy of the Elliot 10M Operators Manual which shows an exploded view of the ratchet assembly and it has components that my machine does not. Even the clutch handle is different. I suspect that you have the Elliot 10M – have you?

I can only repeat that the ratchet cog on mine – even with the securing/safety screw drilled out is virtually unmovable on the traverse shaft – it was almost certainly pressed/shrunk onto the shaft.
