SM1120 Finally found one!

I still haven't had a chance to look yet but for now I think I'm going to pass, a nice brass knurly knob is sounding good. Thanks very much for the offer, at least now you know where it is.

Johnwa - the MIL spec manual seems to be the only manual I have that shows the retainer as well, if it creeps again I'll make the retainer for it. Did you built the preload adjuster tool on page 25? My spindle seems a bit stiff (not unreasonable) but that may be just from sitting for a few years. I'll get a few hours of run time before I start messing with things.

Super user you just know it's going to creep again, make the darn retainer. Ya just do it.

Okay Mom,,,, lol. I feel like I should have my head down, hands in my pockets kicking a can down the lane.

What thickness material and screws did you use for yours?

Mother says sorry that's my former military bearing shining through. LOL

Done! Can I go play now,,,,,,, oh,,,wait,,,, that is play! WaHOO,,,
When I took the top off the bearing had moved ever so slightly but that sucker's not moving anymore. I used a piece of 3/16 plate for the retainer and welded on a tab for the tach sensor.
Dusty - Thanks for the push, it did need doin.

I got tired of walking out into the shop in the morning or two days later and finding I'd left the VFD running so I put an "ON" light on it.
Now I know when it's still on, during the day it's clearly visible and at night it lights up the whole shop. I had to paint off the right side of the lens cause it was blinding me when running the machine. lol

Funny, I never turn off my VFDs.

The way I'm wired is for the green button to turn on the contactor and that supplies power to the VFD. The contactor has a hum/buzz so I don't like leaving on all the time. It's good for surge protection as well since we get a fair number of power outages and bumps.
