| Loughborough lathe headstock spindle |
| (1/1) |
| NormanV:
The spindle on my Loughborough lathe has started running tight and I need to remove it to check the taper roller bearings. I have removed the locking ring on the rear of the spindle and slackened off the grubscrews that hold the pulley in place. When I tapped on the rear end of the spindle it felt very solid. Before I do any damage, has anyone any experience with one of these lathes who could advise me? Thanks, Norman |

On my clausing it went tight when the slide gear siezed check the gear train :doh: |
| NormanV:
The Loughborough lathe does not have any gears, it is a plain lathe. I have temporarily solved the problem by flooding the bearing with WD40 but I would still like to dismantle it to clean and apply some grease. That will teach me not to turn wood! Norman |
