Thread: All things Beaver Mill
20/11/2021 06:13:10

Hi all - I am also new to the group. I have a beaver PAL mill which has no back gear, and the all-belt head. The rear layshaft in the head is pressed into the eccentric (for tightening the belt), the pulley set is then riding on two LS9 bearings on that shaft, according to the drawings. The pulley set can't come out through the top of the head casting, so I'm wondering how to disassemble this thing? Mine has got quite noisy, so I'd like to replace those bearings.

Also - I have a fair amount of wear on my splines I can see comparing the unworn area to the worn area that the lands are almost a millimetre narrower. Are there any other options than the one shown earlier in this thread? The wear is worst at the bottom (quill retracted), and lessens as you go up (quill projected). So any kind of backlash limiter is only going to work at one point.

Thanks,

Craig
