      Hello to all forum members.

      I am new to this forum but not new to the use of machine tools.

      I have an Emco V11 with a milling attachment and recently

      purchased an FB2 that needs a lot of work to be back to working order.

      I have to machine new lead screws nuts and gibs as also a major

      paint job.

      Can any one help with an FB2 parts list? I need to see how some things

      come together correctly.

      Thanks in advance

      John from Greece

              Hello David

              Thank you for the welcome.

              Should i post my questions on the "Manual machine tools" Topic?

              The previous owner of the FB2 somehow replaced the Y axis trapezoidal screw

              with a square thread screw. Not the best choice i believe.

              I have somehow to figure out if i can trust the overal dimensions of this screw

              to fabricate a trapezoidal one (total length?)

              Thanks

              John

                  Hi John,

                  Welcome to the forum. The FB2 was discussed earlier on this forum, see here, there is also a link to a manual (in German) in that thread.

                    Hello Thor

                    Thank you very much for the link, it is exactly what i was asking for.

                    I had a parts list but the page with the XY table was missing,

                    this now is complete!!!

                    John

                          Hi again. My lathe has a square thread for all axis traverse, cross slide and compound slide. No problems with my lathe accuracy so personally I would just keep it as us as long as there is no excessive play. Made in about 1950 a Myford.
