Hello all, could anyone who has fitted one of these offer me any help.
My warco feed unit turned up today, the instructions are not very clear, i will speak to Warco tomorrow but wanted some basic info first.

They have supplied a new end bearing plate ( on the right ) i thought i maybe have to replace the current plate ( one on the left ) with this one as this is the correct size to fit within the grey mounting plate, but there is no thrust bearing for the drive gear to pull up against, have they supplied the wrong plate ?

Thanks for any help.

Morning.

Spoken to Warco but there not able to offer me any assistance..

As it stands i can modify the existing plate ( Cut the ends off ) and it should work ok, interested if anyone else had the same problem.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

Warco have been fine, i think the problem is they have updated the machine and the power feed suits the new design not mine. They have said i can return the feed so might just do that.

Cheers.

Hello Mark, sorry for the delay, no shed time recently…

Couple of photos below.

I had to alter the original bearing bracket, just drilled a couple of extra dowels then cut about 10mm of each end.
The gear supplied in the kit just slid onto the leadscrew using the existing key, this then pulled up against the thrust bearing using a small turned nut supplied in the kit.
All you need to do then is clamp the feed onto the table and set the gap between the gears, there is a gap between the supplied clamp plate and the table, about 6mm which i need to fill at some point with a couple of small plates.

One point to note, when i asked warco for some photos of the assembly they sent a photo of one in their showroom, this had a completly differant gear setup, not sure where this came from but if they had sent this type it would have been no use, i can post this photo if i can find it.

Thanks.
