Thread: Non Tilting Tilting head issue

Hi all,
Had my first mill arrive today which was great but have run into an issue immediately, hopefully someone can help. Tried tilting the head by loosening the 4 bolts attaching it to the column but no joy, saw what I thought was a retention pin (pictured) and removed it, the head started tilting...great stuff....but then stopped at around 45 degrees and now wont move back to upright or any where more than +/- 5 degrees of its current 45 degree position, anyone have any ideas about this at all? Mill is a Weiss VM32L.
(Have put this one another thread of mine but off topic so moved to here)
Cheers
Mark

The centre bolt is a pivot that you shouldn't loosen.You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D

If the pivot bolt is loose it lets the head "sag", this will cause all kinds of friction as sliding surfaces will come into contact with pressures at angles which they are not designed to handle, this will cause them to jam.
