Brideport Drawbar

[smart323232]

I have a Bridgeport EZ Trak DX II with a CP Butterfly unit on top of the drawbar, ie...change the tools out with air. The top of the drawbar has a type of spline on the top where the CP Butterfly unit hooks up. The spline is worn a bit, and I think that is causing my problem. My problem is when I try to take my collet out of the machine the air doesn't want to engage, I have no problem putting the collet in...so I am thinking there may be some type of switch that needs to be pushed to let the CP Butterfly or the Drawbar know that it needs air to remove the collet...am I close on my guess...and if that is it...Where can I go to get a new drawbar...or the part that goes on the drawbar that has the spline on it? I have checked in books and on line but didn't see the drawbars with the spline part...Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thank-You in advance

Pull the drawbar out and you will see spacers.... sounds like you need another small spacer in addition to the ones you have.
Make sure the engauge diaphram air line isn't clogged

You should be able to get a replacement drawbar form Kurt-
