Thread: Elliott 00 Omnimill
18/11/2017 11:40:42

I am restoring an omnimill, and have reached the point of fitting the horizontal arbour into the spindle (MT3). The taper appears to bottom out in the spindle before the flats on the arbour engage in the slots, maybe around 0.25 engagement of the flats in the slot.

Is this how it is supposed to be? there are witness marks on the taper which suggest that it has been like this for a long time, but sizewise the flats should fit in the slot

any help much appreciated

Thread: Ajax AJ8

Hi John,

did you get anywhere with your Ajax AJ8? I have just bought one to restore and would appreciate some help. In particular I have a stub shaft in the base casting which has a grease nipple and grease grooves in it. do you know if this carried an other speed reduction pulley? or a tensioner /idler perhaps?

the spindle speed seems high (lowest is 660 rev/min) so another reduction would make sense.

any help you ( or anyone else with a similar machine) could shed would be much appreciated.

thanks

Trevor
