    Shoptask 1720 XMTC parts

    Afternoon, I have a 1993 vintage Shoptask 1720 XMTC and am looking for an upgrade or plans for a lead screw reverse upgrade for this machine.

    I've contacted Shopmaster and been told that its no longer available.

    Can anyone point me to an option for parts or plans for the modification for the reversing lead screw mechanism?

    Thanks!

    Rich

    Techsol,
    That shifter upgrade was not built by Shoptask, but by a guy named Chuck up in Washington. His website has been down for a long time, so I'm not sure if he is still around.
    Check the Shoptask forum on Delphi, I think there were some pictures over there.

    leadscrew reverse mechanism

    The Delphi board doesn't show anything when I search for Chuck or the leadscrew reversing box. Thanks though!

    Lead screws are low-cost and self-locking, and they provide the accuracy and repeatability that most mechanical design applications require duck life
