milling spindle upgrade
bertie_bassett:
well the quill moves freely and the head didn't take any of the weight of the fall so I think im ok on that front.
managed to get a pic up the spindle bore and think the pins at fault, though the pic isn't as clear as id like
looks like the entire spindle need stripping down to be able to get it out though
Swarfing:
I had to fettle the pin in my spindle slightly. I used a small needle file where one of the sides are blank, I just gave a couple of strokes up each side of the pin which was enough for it to work with all my R8 tooling. I found that the problem was only really on all the imported tools, UK tools were fine?
bertie_bassett:
I was thinking of trying to clean it up, but need to be careful not to damage the taper.
Wouldn't suprise me if the imports were slightly different size to uk ones
vtsteam:
Use a little blue (or other color) on one part and fit together. Pull apart to check and see where it's rubbing. Then you can take a little off only where needed.

do you have some sort of fetish for getting blue everywhere? do smurfs need to be worried??
