your problems - snug even gibs not to tight check play just under
the down feed keep the degree dial close to the shoulder. Next I
would get a holder that has no rake. Mostly I dont even use a tool
holder. It doesnt need a bunch of top rake. Think of this-you have a
Loader bucket flat on ground a little down pressure (thats your down feed)
next angle the bucket a tinch (tool rake) until you just shave the ground.
Play with bucket angle till just right. Angle bucket too much (rake)
and this will down climb and lift the front wheels off the ground.
thats a redneck explanation but thats whats going on Providing the
table, ram, are all nicely adjusted. I cut MT tapers gears splines
rounds slotted brackets boring drilling no tricks no rocket science,
you just have to understand its capables.
