--- Quote from: steampunkpete on January 18, 2015, 08:02:35 AM --- I have seen a mini lathe webpage dealing with a bearing change that suggests a 38mm x 4mm O-ring for an additional seal on the spindle. I have the bearings and O-rings ready to go and have acquired the purpose designed LMS extractor kit. The job will, however, have to wait until I've re-vamped the garage. --- End quote --- About the seal, i read that 38x4 seal page as well, i guessed there was made a typo or a different lathe. See my photo's without seals. I ordered some 48 nbr seals to try out, and will make a bigger spacer (black on photo) with diameter 48 too if seems work ok. A general good thing to do is to remove the remarks on the spacer rings, to prevent uneven pressure on bearings (see photo). Regards, Arjan |

Sorry for digging this up, but i was having a go at this till i realized that it won´t work properly with the bearings press fitted. Long story short i already press fitted the front bearing...would it be OK to just polish the journal of the rear bearing? would i still be able to adjust them properly? |
