bar feed change stock diameter - help

[1ctoolfool]

how easy is it to change the diameter of the feed stock with the servo bar feeder?
I was told you have to move the whole bar feed and change a bushing inside the headstock but this seems silly
thanks,

unscrew the spindle liner and change the bushings. Raise or lower the table. Depending on size, you may have to change the pushrod.
I can have it changed in 10 min.

ours came with this set of 6 or 8 teflon bushings and steel tube spacers. to size the bushings they have to be machined and you have to have a set of bushings for each stock diameter, this just seems a little cumbersome.

it's either change the liners, or listen to the stock rattle in your spindle!

Changing the spindle liners is easy, as long as you are using standard size bar.
We have 2 different liners and a bunch of different sized pvc pipes that go inside the liners. I would say it takes less than 10 minutes to change bar sizes (including changing the chuck jaws).
I have had some problems with the bigger spindle liner rattling around though.

We have an SL-20 with the servo 300 bar feeder http://www.ktechmanufacturing.com/turning.htm

I would say the servo 300 is a very good unit, the SL-20, not so great
