Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Hi Jon, Thank you for your reply. For your information, my lathe chuck is a 100mm (4"). As far as I know the bearings are of the tapered type but I didn't verify, just referring to the drawing and the

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Ryan, I agree with you and I'd like to add some comments. Concerning the use of tapered bearings, my lathe came with them and I didn't touch them until I decided to get rid off a bad surface aspect. A

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
No, tapered bearings aren't sealed, see my other post, you'll see that I'm wondering how to ensure their maintenance. The gear side might be accessible for oiling when the nuts, the pulley and the

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
You're correct but the lathe was delivered with such bearings.

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Roy, I already have tapered bearings but my problem is that they are mounted tight and I can't manage to reduce the clearance between them.

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Hi John. Yep, my lathe is a two speed one and I have the LMS metal gears in it. To me the gears are pretty quiet. If I grab the chuck and rock it back and forth there's some gear clunk naturally but

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Thanks Ryan for your experience and results report Is your lathe a 2-Speed and are you running metal 2-speed gears as well? How is the gear meshing noise? TKS, John

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
My tapered rollers have been in for 10 years. I haven't touched them in 3 1/2 years since I installed my els. I pulled the rear when I had the nuts off to install some parts for that and in the prior

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
I am on the fence about ACR vs TR, Did you get rubber seals on your bearings? Do you oil them regularly? Maybe 1 drop before each use? Does oil leak out the bottom of the bearing or middle of the

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
I believe the OP has tried to install tapered roller bearings and can not get the preload just right.? I could be wrong tho, even very wrong is possible.....

I like the part *The only benefit to higher precision bearings in the spindle is reducing wallet weight!* This ball bearing I purchased 1,000 at a time in class 3 / motor grade. It very good ball

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
What this whole thread is overlooking is the fact that the OEM bearings are deep groove ball bearings; the cheapest option! An upgrade to angular contact bearings gives more thrust resistance to the

You have to consider that the Craftsmen "rotary triple" gizmo for three tools also provides a little flat workbench space on each side of the tool.? That is probably useful.? It is true that you

Re: ANSWER TO GUIDE RULE - OT
The lathe & mill are roughly the same weight (45kg & 55kg?) and the centre of gravity would be roughly at the pivot point (biased towards the mill as it¡¯s heavier & taller) so flipping wouldn¡¯t

That Craftsman table is a bit bigger than it needs to as it has three tools, you could do two stands with two tools each for not that much more floor space. I was planning on making some for the

Hello PR, My experience with these bearings is that they can be hand tight, up to press tight.? On an automobile the bearing is slip fit on the spindle and press tight on the hub, so use your

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Jon, Interesting vids. They tend to confirm that a press is needed for dismounting and remounting. However, no figures are provided concerning the applied forces. Referring to the ISO286 adjustment
