    Default X axis crossfeed help needed

    I purchased a step pulley Bridgeport over a year ago and have been using it for various small projects. The auto crossfeed does not work and now I find myself needing it.

    I've attached pics of the crossfeed motor and would appreciate any feedback on getting it up and running.

    In the last pic I've attached, you can see the underside of the mechanism with the cover removed.

    The motor does work, but there are missing parts between the motor output shaft and the input shaft that drives the leadscrew.

    I would appreciate any sources for the missing parts or other helpful comments?

    thanks,
    Mark

    You're missing the clutch and the clutch gear.
    The small pinion should turn when you engage the power feed. This indicates that the motor and SCR controller works OK.
    Unplug the power feed and then engage it. Turn the middle shaft. This should move the table (it's hard to turn!) If it does the rest of the gears are OK.

    If it checks out, you need a B-4737 Zytel Gear Clutch. These are considered consumables and cost about $50 each. Or search B-4737 on ebay.
