Schaublin 125-CNC retrofit to LinuxCNC and Mesa cards.

BillTodd:
I would not take that spindle apart !

I have replaced lathe spindle bearings on simpler  lathe spindles - as you say - major pucker factor  - even simple lathes have very expensive bearings !

I'd either lubricate in place or leave be.

The bearings and grease on my HLV-H are now 55 years old and still OK, I have the urge to pull them and lubricate too.

Mark,

I definitely wouldn't take it apart, a long soak in solvent, I'd then try to "flush" it with diesel with your syringe before re-rinsing in solvent blow dry and grease!

RotarySMP:
Thanks. I went to the Paris air show once. Must have been about 1999 or so. Very cool.
