Brief update

It seems there is always something that needs to be repaired or serviced on older machines. I've been working diligently to make more stock since late last week. I've had tremendous success with increasing the spindle speed and running very sharp knives. Increasing the spindle speed creates a real clean and smooth turning and running the sharp knives helps tremendously.

Unfortunately, I have been plagued with an intermittent issue with the steady rest not disengaging. That definitely throws a wrench into the mix when trying to run in auto mode. There is a lot of stopping and starting. I will have to look into it more tomorrow. It seems that either the pneumatic control valve may have to be rebuilt or there is a wiring issue to the control valve.

It's been a long day. I was at the shop nearly 12 hours. I'm taking off all my hats and going to bed so I can be fresh in the morning to leap this new hurdle.

'til later
