Re: Who to install hand wheel bearings?

Robert;
I noticed on your link,you mentioned that you wanted to fill the apron gearbox with oil.
Did you ever do this?
You would not have to fill the box,only put some in the bottom,which woud travel up all the gears.
This would eliminate the need to put a seal on the shaft on the back side.

I installed a pair of 8mm x 22mm bearings on my handwheel shaft.? Unlike most others, I put both bearings in front, with nothing in the rear.? This has worked very well for me.? See my post at:?
I could not have done this mod on my lathe.? I used my Mini Mill and a boring bar.

When I get caught up on some bills, who installs the bearings in the saddle and cross slide of our lathes?
I won't have a lathe to do the work on, so can't do it myself. It sounds like a worthwhile mod how ever.
