Hi,
I have the use of an old ACE chisel morticer that i am bringing back to life.
I have a few questions and hope someone can help me.
It is in pretty good condition but there are three things that i need help with......
1 - it has the wrong vice on the sliding table, Does anyone have parts for sale? or is there a man in melbourne that i can talk to about parts?
2 - it has a limited range of chisels and the collet is fairly bruised (might be ok but someone must have parts?)
3 - This is the one that has me scratching my head.
It's a 3phase, driven by a flat belt.
There is a throwout bearing on the shaft that drives the drill bit (throught the bevel gears)
This bearing is pushed out by lifting the morticer head up to an adjustable stop, which i suppose is to disengage the drill from turning while it is idle?
My problem is that there is not enough travel on the bearing to disengage the drive, and the engagement mechanism looks pretty inefficient.
I hope the photos help, ( i will move the machine somewhere i can get better photos)
The shaft (driven by the wheel) has two long keys that engage with the wheel and the wheel would have to travel more than 50mm to disengage.
The shaft is drilled to grease the wheel, the wheel is designed to slide back and forth on the shaft but i can't see how it would ever disengage, and if it did i can't see how it would re-engage without risking breaking.
the drive wheel has two long keyways and brass bearings inside it
Anybody want to tell me what i'm not seeing?2014-06-29_13-38-34_827.jpg2014-06-29_13-39-00_891.jpg2014-06-29_13-39-16_648.jpg2014-06-29_13-39-26_961.jpg2014-06-29_13-39-41_591.jpg2014-06-29_13-39-57_478.jpg2014-06-29_13-40-05_781.jpg2014-06-29_13-40-21_416.jpg
