Hi Jason, Thanks for that, I see on the mini-lathe.com "how to" he beats the spindle out with a soft mallet, I have access to a hydraulic press do you think that may be a better option? David |
| ja2on:
Should be easy with a press be careful though with the thread on the end of the spindle Please bear in mind I have never done this :dremel: I just have a large folder of mini lathe links that I amassed when I was doing my home work before buying one. I ended up buying a c4 instead as it was on special offer :doh: |

Hi David Thats a bitch your gears have broken, looks like the lads have pretty well got you sorted, the only thing I can add is that Loctite can be broken with heat, about 150 deg C usually does it. Good luck :wave: Stew |
