Table Jack-Screw Repair
Strippit Custom 18/30, Custom 30/30, and Custom 30/40 Machines
have Solid Fixed Table-Mounts and their Tables do Not Move Up & Down.
Strippit Super 30/30 and Super 30/40 Machines
Do have Adjustable Tables using 4 Chain-Driven Jack-Screws and
Can Move Table Up & Down using the Rotary-Handle at Front of Machine.
But, As Nobody Maintains Jack-Screws, oil & greasing, adjusting chain, etc.
they tend to fail in old-age. Many Tables are also Damaged by Knuckle-Heads who Bump into Machines with Fork-Lifts, Careless Machine Riggers & Movers,
or Idiots trying to pick-up Machine with Fork-Truck Forks under Table.
As these Machines are now Decades out of production, Jack-Screw Parts are Difficult to Find (See 2 Up-Dates Below!), so any Special Parts you need
will have to be Fabricated by yourself or a Good Machine Shop.
As Adjustable Tables are Rarely needed or used, you can
Repair by making Solid Table-Mounts to take the Place of Jack-Screws
Just like on a Custom 30/30 or Custom 30/40 Machine.
1 -- Cut & make some Wood Blocks of 4" x 4" or 6" x 6" to Block-Up and
use as Safety-Stands so there is NO Possibility that the
VERY Heavy Plate-Steel Table
could Tilt or Fall and Crush someone working underneath Table!
2 -- Put a Scissor-Jack near 1 of the 4 Corner Jack-Screws and Jack-Up that
Corner just enough to take Table Weight off of Jack-Screw.
Put Wood-Blocks under Table as a Safety-Stand so there is
NO Possibility that Plate-Steel Table could Tilt or Fall and
Crush someone working underneath!
3 -- Unbolt that Corner's Jack-Screw and Slide it out of Machine.
4 -- Make 8 -- 1/4" Steel Plates about 4" x 4" or so, and
Drill bolt-hole pattern on to Steel Plates to
Match Top & Bottom Mounting-Plates of the Old Jack-Screw
to become New End-Plates for New Solid Table-Mounts.
5 -- Cut 4 pieces of Thick-Wall 2" x 2" Steel Square Tubing.
Measure length so that when New End-Plates are
Welded on to Tube-Ends and Installed in place of Jacks-Screws,
the Table would be a Slightly lower that a New Die Top.
6 -- Bolt Top & Bottom Plate to Machine & Table,
push-in a 2" x 2" Tube, and tack-weld. Remove and finish welding.
Reinstall and Bolt-In this New Solid Mount.
Do All this 1 Corner at a time!
Repeat for the Other 3 Corners.
7 -- When all 4 New Solid Mounts are installed,
Cut & Make and add Steel Shims underneath your 4 Solid Mounts
to Level and to bring Table-Top Up to the
Same Height as Top of a New Die installed in Machine.

Very Early Super 30/30 and Super 30/40 Machines
Built in the Early 1960's
had a Front Hand-Wheel that was Geared to a Long Chain
which turned 2 End Drive-Shafts.
Each End Drive-Shaft drove 2 End Jack-Screws
through More Drive-Shafts.
So, by turning Front Hand-Wheel you drove the 4 Jack-Screws
to Lift and Lower Machine's Work Table.
See the 2 Photos Below.
These Very Early-Type Jack-Screws were made by the
and you may be able to Contact them and Buy New Jack Screws.
The Above Complicated Drive-Shaft & Jack-Screw System
was Discontinued and Replaced with a
Simpler Upper Chain-Driven System in later 1960's.
Front Hand-Wheel was Geared to a
Upper Long Chain
which went to All 4 New-Model Jack-Screws.
So, by turning Front Hand-Wheel you drove the
Upper Long-Chain which was
Connected-to and Turned All 4 Jack-Screws
to Lift and Lower Machine's Work Table.
See Photo of Newer-Type System Below.
These Later-Type Jack-Screws
were probably also made by the
and you may be able to Contact them and Buy New Jack Screws.
