Thanks again Mike I am going senile (or have gone ) Managed to shift the leadscrew to the left. The fault was the reversing plate it was upside down and inside out It came like that when I bought it See pic. one All is now working o.k. Also thanks for putting up how to crank index. Printed off and placed into a Woodchuck folder Cheers Richard
