And check whichever small??idler gear is used for reverse. See if it has a bad tooth or teeth and / or crud built up in it. Mine got pretty worn and needed some cleaning up. I bought metal ones to replace them but ended going to an electronic lead screw and eliminating all that gear train.?

Aside from what you already mentioned, check the engagement of the gear¡¯s teeth for backlash. You can use a plain piece of copier paper between the teeth of two gears.

Many times there is more than one set of gears that will give you the same pitch. You could try using some other gear selections.

I was needing to engage the feed gears to cut some threads and in the reverse? direction to feed away from the chuck it sounds bad.? It gets to a point where it vibrates awful.? I didn't want to take too much apart at the moment but I can't exactly see what the problem is.? Are there a common things to check with the gears?? The gear slot seems to be adjusted pretty well.? The vibration is definitely coming from where the small two gears contact the gear right below it. Any suggestions?? Maybe a worn bushing or too much side to side clearance on a shaft where the gear is mounted?
