An offcutt of 1" hex bar was drilled and the bearing receses cut and 20TPI thread cut , bearings started and the spindle pushed in it feels free and smooth , will test the run out tomorow . |
| millwright:
I like the idea Jeff a ready made spindle almost, and the collets are cheap enough, it all depends on the run out. Hope its ok for you. John |
| chipenter:
/not a lot of time today clocked up with bearings halfway in gives a runout of 1 1\2 thou and half a thou pulling the head , good for the price and for what I want. |
