Cheers Dave, I had a quick scrape at the sleeve on Saturday, the blue showed one very high spot and after gradually working away at it, the bearing now fits a whole lot better- no binding or locking up at all now! It could probably do with a bit more time, and the right tools (I only had a half round file available) but its definatly the way forward |

Thanks to your post coming up in google, and the shared locking problem i've managed to identify mine ad a Denbigh H4, but oddly it has had a vertical head fitted on the over arm as opposed to the arbor brace, I'm struggling to upload any photo's at the min - both the spindle bearing surface and sleeve are very hard ferrous, I'm wondering if they are cast iron, I seem to remember that cast on cast is self lubricating? I'll upload pics as soon as the site lets me,. |

Hello I have just picked up a very old horizontal mill that seems to suffer from the same problem with the spindle locking up when tapped from the front, I have yet to identify the machine but it sounds very similar - the spindle having a large taper at the tool end running in a bearing sleeve (mine looks like steel on steel tho, I'm sure it shouldn't be) have you been able to overcome this problem? Do you have any photos of your mill? |
