Thread: Rodney Milling Aattachment
19/02/2016 21:35:32

Many years ago I bought a Rodney Milling attachment. Although the quill was stiff to turn overall the unit looked in good condition. Ten years later.....I decide to get it running and presume that it just needs some tlc and oil. As I have stripped the unit down, there not being very much of it i have discovered that there is more too the problem and my early hubris seems to have bitten me fair and square. The quill will turn but not freely. It is stiff, binding even and I can find no obvious way to dismantle it further for an inspection/removal of the ball-races.

I wonder if there is anyone out there who might be able to shed some light on this problem. I should also point out that I don't believe the problem to be one of 'lack of lubrication'. I've had a go with various oils and nothing seems to improve. It feels like over-tight bearings...lumpy. Though the upper races seem in tip-top condition as does the unit as a whole?

I'm a complete novice but I am technically and practically minded.

Any input gratefully received. Cheers, j.o.
