Good to see you back Rus! Great video and I gotta say that making your on tools for things like that are perfect. Get-R-Done 👍

[@chrisleech1565]

First spindle arbour I have been able to see on YT, thanks. Of course the one I might be dealing with is from a full sized 60's vertical mill . But this just what the doctor ordered as I decide on whether to spend $500 on regrinding the B&S#9 to an R8

Russ, glad to see you back! I hope your cold decides to leave soon. Lots of cleverness in this video...from the pin spanner to the use of an endmill as a boring bar. The mod of the bearing puller was cool too...only advantage to cheap tools...you don't mind cutting on them when you need to!

[@imp22b]

Glad your back. I've been thinking of sending you a message to see how your stuff was going

[@eod9910]

Thanks Rus really appreciate the explanation.

[@DavidKirtley]

Welcome back Russ.

Good video russ, i'm in the middle of converting my G0704 to CNC and will be doing the belt drive in the future. Once you post all the videos and work out the kinks:).

[@tyronevu4507]

Wait for your next video ! Thanks you

[@DanCech]

Great video Rus, my new bearings are en route and hopefully should be installed this weekend.

[@CncObsession]

I took a pair of slip joint pliers and drilled a hole in each jaw, threaded the holes 8-32 IIRC and used 2 SHCP's to engage the ring. Unscrew the screws and the pliers function as normal. The slip joints and the fact that they are pliers allows possibilities of large rings too.

Nice use of a slot drill (end mill) for boring. Never seen that before. Will definitely be giving that a go.

[@RyanLandvatter]

Nice video man!

[@nora6317tw1]

Great video!

NOTE! He then reverted to Tapered Bearings <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

[@robertallnutt3717]

thank you for the excellent video.

Cool, thanks Russ. I just did this upgrade a few weeks back. Interesting that your retaining nuts were on there so tight, Mine came off pretty easily. My mill i only 3 months old, so maybe they tighten up with time? Yea, it was painful for me to order that Kluber grease also, and I used a similar serenge/needle setup. Looking forward to your next video...

just place the quill/spindle assembly in the vise. next use the spindle lock tool and a hammer. place the tool in the pin holes (not the threaded holes) on washer nuts and lightly tap with a hammer counter clockwise

[@eod9910]

Thanks for the video Rus. Could you explain preload a little more. I am somewhat confused as to what it is and when it should be used.

[@mikec.1259]

Russ, I'm in the process of replacing the bearing on a Okamoto surface grinder. YES, it does have a big effect on how much lubricant you use on bearings. While it may not have very much effect on the stock machine it will when you keep upping the RPM's such as you stated. Do yourself a favor and do some research. It's different for each type of bearing, size, speed, and load. Good luck.

Like the tool, tryed to make the same but with screws, seems that the cup is pretty tight to unscrew ti with a bolt, all bolt's bended and i will try to turn some tool, did you use mild steel for the pind or something else?
