Here I face to recover the original aspect of the Schaublin 13. I will
try to preserve original colors and distributions and, to some extent,
the original coating where possible.
This post explains the disassembly of the milling machine knee
together with the mechanisms related to the automatic traverse
feeds. This includes the assembly that drives the traverses from the
main motor.
The last post discovered the Y axis ram problems. In this post I
explain how the aligment problems were (partially) solved. This is the
result of a long journey through geometry and aligment testing,
scraping learning and lots of patience.
The first tests done when machine arrived at the workshop discovered
an issue on the geometry of the ram —Y axis—. The ram has a
sensible play in some positions that can be measured when moving it on
the Y axis. This will be one of the most interesting problems to repair
during this rebuilding.
In this post I talk about the maintenance of the Schaublin 13 table
feed gearbox. It is easy to identify because it protrudes the back of
the machine in an unusual way.
In this post I show the maintenance of the Schaublin 13 Reeves drive.
Together with the main gearbox, it constitutes the milling machine
power drive. You will see how I dismantle, clean, examine and service
it.
