    Need help with drill spindle!

    Yeah, I didn't understand the relationship of the in between sleeve either. They should have kept the quill hole at slightly larger than .625" with crown on both side to hold the bearings. I think that one might be a bad design.

    No, I don't remember the taper number on that chuck. I will have to look up the parts number charts on schematic.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Very nice work Peter. Love what you are doing. Thank you so much for doing the work and documenting the investigation. At least we know that the spindle and the quill is in good shape. I don't know which chuck I should get to replaced that one.

    Is it possible to apply epoxy glue and then turn it down to the diameter on the lathe once it is cured? This way the bearings sit centred to the spindle. If not epoxy glue, perhaps some substance that can be applied on the spindle and then turns to proper diameter.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    If I have to remove the bearings in the future for any reason at all, is loctite 648 bearing retainer can be removed? I have no experience in removing bearings that have been held by loctite.

    My goodness Peter, you have done so much, and the time you have taken to documenting this project is fantastic. Thank you so much! As for the (bad) chuck, That chuck is a new old stock which was spec for the drill originally. Is there a way to fix that 0.010" runout? Or, perhaps we should find...

    Need help with drill spindle!

    It was a pleasure meeting Peter yesterday. I dropped off everything that touched the spindle (minus drill head) to Peter so that he can see how all the pieces works together. I want to thanks Peter for taking so much of his time helping me out on this project.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    That is the correct procedure to install the bearings with primer method. If the spindle shaft was to replicated, I would have the section in the two bearings to be at 0.625" in diametre. The rest of the shaft will be identical to original. Then, I will have the in between sleeve to be bored out...
