Mini-Lathe woes

Twinsquirrel:
No time like the present....

Pressing out the spindle was surprisingly easy, not the ideal setup but the best I could do with the bits and pieces laying around.



Then the bearing on the motor side, luckily I had a blank which was an almost perfect fit for the outer race of the bearing with just enough clearance for the casting.



And here is the unit in its component form.

You're cooking on gas now David  :thumbup:  Nice job  :clap:

Now all you've got to do is get it back together.

Isn't it amazing David, with a little help from friends you have never met, if you had the new bits in your hands, it would be going back together again, all within a few hours from your initial cries for help.

Amazing site we have here.

Darren:
Sorry David I've been out all afternoon picking up a new toy..... :ddb:

I see you have pretty much got on with it whilst I had my back turned. It doesn't look like you need a puller now. But if you do get stuck the offer is always open. Just give me a shout.

Let me get through the door and have a cuppa and I'll sort some info for you.
