--- Quote from: Stilldrillin on July 20, 2014, 03:44:59 AM ---Now you've a working lathe again. Make a metal spacer. To replace the plastic one, between the spindle adjusting nuts, and rear bearing. Even if you don't intend to fit taper bearings...... --- End quote --- I intend to do just that, and I am leaning strongly towards the Taper Bearings. Do you know if there are any spacers in the headstock? and if so what width they are? (may as well make all the spacers at the same time, assuming they are all the same I/D) Thanks for those pics Chuck :thumbup: , that's given me something to think about. Tim |

Spacers Tim? :scratch: I dunno! I left the headstock in place. Slid the spindle out, through the gears. Swapped the bearings. Greased up, and rebuilt. That was 5 years ago...... :thumbup: (I did have a bit of locknut trouble)...... http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=1292.0 David D |
