Thanks Ken - I've got a feeling that the trip is only going to work on the down feed, given the initial testing I did.
From looking at videos on the web and looking at the design of the system, the short plunger at the top of the quill travel should push the micrometer screw down, tripping the system.
At present, the reverse trip lever isn't acting as a pivot point and the plunger lifts the micrometer screw up. I believe that by working off the dimension on the drawing, that I drilled the hole in the wrong spot. This is something that I can fix once the mill is up and running.
How often would I feed up? I can see the need to feed down when boring.
