Re: Repairing Quill Spring
I caught the washer through the inspection cover on the back side of the headstock. I put my hand in and caught it, was easy for me. When installing after I repaired the spring, I pushed the bushing for the retractor shaft against washer and inserted the shaft through both. I'm not positive if that is different for a M5.

Re: Repairing Quill Spring
Benmch Thank you for the Links they were very helpful. It was the pin that holds the spring that came out. I do not think it is the original pin. In any event I put that pin in again / firmly hammered it in. I think it will stay, sure hope it does. I did drop the Washer into the motor and had to lower the motor housing somewhat and then use magnate to get it out. Definite learning experience. Again, thank you.
Re: Repairing Quill Spring
This link might be helpful if someone has lost the pin that holds the spring.

Re: Repairing Quill Spring
Great picture of the quill feed washers #53. I am upgrading my Mark 7 the the new Gen 2 controller and I have 2 of these same washers in the correct position and orientation. Should there only be just 1?
Re: Repairing Quill Spring
This is the 'domed' washer, correct? Normally there is just one. I don't think it would cause a problem if there were two, as long as they are in the correct position/orientation. I don't think Gen 2 changes this, or see why it would. IIWM, as long as the quill locks and unlocks I wouldn't change it.lewparsell wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 9:53 pm Great picture of the quill feed washers #53.

Re: Repairing Quill Spring
There is a grove ground in to the casting where the washer or washers set. This is a new 2020 machine from ShopSmith. I am wondering if this was an error in assembly or a change in design. I am in the process of upgrading it to the Gen 2 controller when I found this out. I could leave them both there however I do not want to cause more damage.
