        Dear All,

        I was running a cut with the half nut engaged. On reaching the end of the cut I was late to disengage the drop worm finger before the apron hit the stop. This did dis-engage it but as a consequence I have not been able to engage it again. it seems to have stuck?

        Does anyone have any idea as to how I can open up the front of the apron to see how to attempt a fix of the finger? There are hex bolts that seem to be holding on the front plate? These have all come out easily but I am not sure if I should force off the plate of not? Do I need to take off the hand-wheel etc?

        Thanks in advance.

          You would do well to join the Yahoo group for Smart & Brown lathes, there are plenty of expert 1024 owners, manuals, parts lists and photos.

            Dave I worked on a 1024 for several years in the 60's and they do have a safety trip on the traverse, safety rather than an auto disengage ! Yours is probably a bit gummed up so has not completed the cycle. One of my pals used to do all the maintenance so I will ask him. SEE your messages
