Good video. Thank you. FYI: The reason that the downfeed can not be engaged with the quill all the way up is that the Auto disengagement pin is pressed. Rotating the quill down slightly releases the pin. This is normal operation. The pin is just behind the slotted screw at the top of the depth stop rod. Regards.

That's one of those obvious things I never bothered to put thought into. When I first started using a mill, someone told me to bump the quill of the feed won't engage. Though I've never used the feed to cut upwards. Have you ever needed to? It could make sense facing some extremely odd parts but I've never seen a reason for it.

@@moosesmachinery More than anything, it's a safety feature to avoid damaging the feed system. The power upfeed, as you said, is seldom used, but it is use to avoid getting a spiral mark or groove in the finish of a precision bore from manually raising the quill. Thanks for the video and the reply. Regards.

Incredibly useful for me! Not a whole lot of info out there about the operation of these older models.

There is, but you have to go to the early 2000s BBS (pre tap talk days!). It's buried under all the crap unfortunately. The detailed operators & service manuals are available and extremely helpful. I'd suggest never doing spindle bearings unless you have the manual in front of you.

I rarely use the power down feed but nice to see the features. Didnt know you could change feed rates while running. Thanks, great chanel

@rickjohnsonjr8954 I lean on it very hard for boring. On my machine it's extremely difficult to change speeds when the machine is not running. I should probably read a manual and make sure it is not causing damage haha
