WM14 Mill spindle issue/adjustment

Hi RusselT
You can shim the head so that the quill vertical movement is true, but it requires about 1.5mm of packing at the top of the head and obviously the cutter spindle is far from vertical. With the spindle true shimming of a couple of thou is all that's required.

Have been in touch with Warco re head dis assembly. Their advice is to remove head from column (been there before), remove motor and gear plate, the drive the spindle out with a hammer. Not sure how this is going to work out but I will get to it asap. Main problem is that I want to use it on a fairly regular basis so I'm bound to need it when its in a pile of bits.  :(

Best Regards

RussellT:
I expect when you have it in pieces you'll find it's an easy solution - if you had a milling machine.

Good luck.

Any members on Google Maps nearby that could offer you mill support whilst yours is undergoing work ?
