Hi. I have read all the threads I find about this. Unfortunately, I do not find the answer I am looking for. I need help with my bridgeport, I have a problem with my quill becoming sluggish the last bit when it goes up in my head. The whole head is newly renovated with new berings and belts. Bering in the spindel is also new.
now to my problem as i said the last 25mm is sluggish when you return the quill last bit up in the head. I have tried to remove the set screw to the nose cap. it was not it but I noticed that if I release the noscap then it goes easily again.
So now to my question how much should the nos cap be tightened? what do you think can nose cap be defomed so that this cause the problem. is it a common problem? I did not see how this can happen because the nos cap is only too hold the autoside off the bearings. Can you screw it too tight so that makes the quill stiff.
Best regards
