Hi
I have an old and nice, but well used LZ 330. It is quite prescice and functional , but there are a few things I am not sure about.
I am new to the forums. I have some other old machinery (Nikolas Correa Mill/Kondia Powermill, Arboga drillpress) in my workshop so I guess taking part of the community in here to share knowledge makes great sense:-)
I have 3 questions for the knowledgeable people out there:
1. The spindle speed selector knob and lever on the lever left is not fully engaging the proper gears... I dont like the idea of taking it apart and check. However if I play around with it I most of the times manage to get a descent spindle speed for the work at hand.
Tips?
2. On the bed there is an adjustable stop for the longitudal movement. It also appears to me that there is a button/swith on the carriage that looks like it could be a feed stop button coming into action when it hits the adjustable stop on the bed...
It seems stuck and I cant find a way to make it operational. Does anyone know if there was ever such a auto feed stop function on these machines?
And is this stop just for
3.
Lastly, does anyone do lots of threadcutting on these machines? There is no dial. I guess whn cutting I need to keep it enganged and run it forward and backward without dissengage/loose thread pattern?? This way is a little awkard when cutting thread up to a flange for example as the machine takes a while to come to a stop... So the feed continues with the intertia of the machine so to speak. It would be nice to be able to disengage, go back and start on the next cut..? I have not donw much thread cutting so bear with me if there is something I did not understand here:-)
best regards
