Hi Dale,

Have a look here:

Not too sure what Regal you have?
A bit more info and i might be able to find the correct manual for you.

Ah HA! I read through the taper attachment operation section and it states that the "screw "S" needs to be removed to put the TA into operation" That means the TA does NOT have a telescopic leadscrew so it's very important to NOT TURN THE LATHE ON while we dope all this out.

This would cause catastrophic failure of something.

This may also explain why everything is locked up.....I would download the book and give it a look, but it looks like you need to remove the bolt that locks the leadscrew nut to the cross slide carriage FIRST.....I was concerned that was the case...everyone designs them a bit different..... :

Absolutely telescopic...I shouldn't look at posts at midnight :

In the second photo of your first post, you can see the housing that anchors that end of the cross slide screw.

Very "typical"

So now....what's wrong with it? Our intrepid hero will get back to us shortly.... ;D
