    Need help with drill spindle!

    LOL. Powder coat might be the ticket. I don't know how to powder coat. Can you powder coat just only 2 strips on the spindle?

    Need help with drill spindle!

    This has been a really good discussion so far. I want to thank you everyone gave input into this problem. The primer I had worked well on the bearings but it wasn't as solid as I wanted. If anyone would want to replicate the shaft for me, I can pay up to $200 for the spindle work. Any more than...

    Need help with drill spindle!

    I'm not concerned with buying new bearings or cost for having a new shaft recreated. My concern with 17x35mm bearings is that there is a sleeve that goes between the two bearings and this sleeve goes inside the quill. The sleeve ID is 0.625" and OD is 0.75". It is this sleeve that drive out the...

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Fascinating Peter. Would it be possible to use crazy glue? :) I think spray well have huge potential here. If we do that and then machine it down on the lathe to the .625" diameter so that it will take on the new bearings.

    The shaft is 17.5" long. The head is pressed on to the shaft where quill sits so that part can be removed and then re-pressed onto the new shaft. The chuck end of the shaft is tapered to receive the chuck.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Ideally, the shaft would be remake with larger OD to take the new bearings. The tail end, however, must follow exactly to the original shape and OD because this is the critical integration to the spindle pulley. I just thought that this is way too much for me to be asking for help here. If...

    Need help with drill spindle!

    Thanks for your time experimenting the brass shim. I wonder if the brass shim is loctite to the bearing ID rather than on the shaft but this method would have to press the bearing onto the shaft and hope that the brass shim won't come out.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    My only concern about this is the bearing won't be true to the centre of the spindle.

    Need help with drill spindle!

    How easy is it to produce a knurl? Would it get flatten when the pressure from the torque of the spindle over time?

    I can wait until you are back in town. I'm in no hurry but do like to get this figured out before winter arrives. Thank you!
