Yes I have one. The steel gear came with the kit and the shaft hole and dogs were spot-on for my late model Warco Major – it bolted straight on, no mods necessary.

The plastic gear is part of the internal reduction I think and under very little stress.

I’ll go measure up for you in a short while.

The steel gear is for a 17mm feedscrew shaft. It should be included in a ‘horizontal’ kit.

The ‘flexi’ gear is an internal part but a sacrificial/consumable spare hence the listings.

My unit is branded as ‘Wen Ding’ but they’re all generic (you could probably get your own name put on them if you wished). I will see if I can find the original listing.

Andy, have you seen this thread on the forum “Mill Power feed unit”. I think it will answer most of your questions.

Just insert – Mill Power feed unit- into the search engine.

Hope I’m not teaching granny to suck eggs!!

… Would you know by any chance if its ok to attach  the exact link to this item on the auction site so we are definately talking about the same thing?…

As long as you’re not advertising it!

Yes, that is the universal design, widely copied from the original, with all fairly identical to the point that the spares are interchangeable. This Mill/drill version is derived from the Bridgeport type which has a right angle bevel connection to the leadscrew rather than the straight gear.

Probably not. Mine came with a wired limit stop block with a microswitch for each direction. This was intended to fit to, or instead of, the original solid limit stop. By the time I bought the power feed, I had already modified the stop design and have no experience of how well it worked in detail. I rigged up the limit switch block, which worked OK for normal machining feed, but I quickly observed that using fast slew could result in a hard crash on the stop block. I therefore made up my own stop system with enough overtravel. Of course for this to be safe, the work also needs to be set up and checked, but it all works fine for me. Hope this helps.

Yes Andy that looks like the same one – different seller but same model – apologies I missed your intermediate post!

Chris, as Macolm says these only have simple switched electrical supply cut-outs and will over-run – I haven’t investigated if a reliable mechanical drop-out could be arranged, would increase the usefulness tenfold.

Essentially just an electric handle-winder as supplied.

Yes, though that is hard-wired to the unit, and is mentioned in the generic ‘instructions’ text – it does not show the bracket though..

Unfortunately the ‘shop’ from which I bought mine no longer exists. A more exact/complete/better-illustrated analogy would be this one, which also states the correct shaft diameter size;

I think part of the trouble is that these ‘shops’ are just box-shifters with no understanding of the product and it’s nuances – some seem to have a better understanding than others.

Do check carefully that these units have a limit switch function. It is not at all clear that they do. One of the Bridgport type (bevel gear) pictures does appear to show what could be limit switch block, grouped with the mains connection cable. I did not find such a picture for the mill/drill type.

Also not clear about the jog function. My unit has only a fast slew button that puts full mains voltage on the motor. That is fine by me, and indeed very useful. It could be what they mean by “jog”!

Andy, I presume you know that particular power feed in your ebay link lays flat and sticks out of the left end of the mill much more than the very similar type that sits vertically at the right end of the bed.

The video that Michael shows is of the alternative fitting type.
