Done this a few times over the years its quite easy to fetch out as mentioned above.

Just put a packer in about 12 will do and knock the drawbar down with nut on.

Almost certainly drawbar had it next time make a better one with hex solid one piece on the top. Will have to measure as necessary, done it at least 20 times in 15 yrs on a Lux and RF25.
Tip the all thread is weak and will soon strip the thread, either make it one piece from decent hardened steel or cut a 12.9 bolt and weld to a shaft.

Best of luck with a Y shape and or wedges.

Larry i do it roughly 12 times a day since 2004 can change a collet and cutter in it over in 20 seconds flat. Quicker for just same shank size cutter.
I use a 1lb ball ended hammer and hold the shaft close to the head. Slacken lead screw off once undone a further 3/4 to 1 1/2 revs, grab hammer hold about 3-4" on top and a short sharp fast whack marginally following through.
Using wedges will impart more pressure on bearings plus try and part at an angle than straight down! No choice on a drill chuck and have broke JT6 doing exactly that leaving the MT3 still in drill quil.

This one very expensive though for diy.

Think most are trying to baffle him, start logically keep compound 90 degrees on and do it the way the pros do.
Will then iron out and or eliminate that way of doings things.

Rest as Andrew said yesterday.

Long time ago but same happened to my ML7 before scrapping the thing.

At the end of its life lucky if i got 20 mins before the spindle started slowing and left bush burning up too hot to touch. There was monstrous play but ok at first and always ran it above 1000 rpm and still took an eternity.

Same here works for me.

You can use literally any type of pump bicyle, grease gun etc all you have to do is put a guage on and fill it up wit oil or water.

Its all i do for testing cylinders and end plugs to operate at 4500psi and test to 6700psi. Fill cylinder with water and pump oil in. If blows will only go about 2"

Thats a large pane of glass.

To give you some idea bog standard presume 4mm glass 3ft x3.5ft you wouldnt believe how much it will bellow, well over 2" in the centre.

May not be as simple as turning tool/s upside down, you buy left or right hand.

I do have a rear tool post i bolt on for repetitive work ie gang tools up, these are LH opposite hand to the norm but do have to spin in opposite direction.
Put a RH tool in rear tool post upside down, just use normally (spindle anti clockwise) as if its in the front post - downside is you may not be able to see the tip and whats happening.

Will get a far better result Mick if it was whole like front post, assured that will bend away and or flex.

Always got a fobia using grease on machine tools. Stems from ex family business precision grinders and repairing various machine tools.
Some of these machines run slow such as centreless grinders (apart from spindles) due to being pumped with greases. Seen likewise on many a lathe and miller fitted with what looks like grease nipples, theyre not theyre oil nipples.

It only takes one foreign object to lodge on one surface to start the damage however fast or slow and grease is the worst thing for that short of grinding paste.

Any oil pretty much, usually have to rebuild my HV8 every 9 months now 20 years old. Each session equates 9 to 17 revolutions in 30 degree increments. Stepper too slow for me.

Normally its not worth the effort to report to any organisation, you will not be thanked unless phone it through.

Considering the amount of scams daily i would be at it 3hrs a day reporting.

If you have pc on and caller display if phoned tap in **LINK**
Last number above unreported. Bare in mind for the last 18 months (eg India) have been using UK phone numbers.

Register with TPS its free and legit. This means its illegal for any UK company to contact you (recently came in) Now if they are phoning unsolicited, they are up to no good!

Play that rule almost every time even if its some Indian using a UK legit number trying to scam or sell a multitude of supposed products.
Had such yesterday from 01953 205680 an Indian portraying calling from UK asking for Mr ........ , greeted with a sigh Whos calling. Mr ....... , Now have had this dozens of times before so hit the roof mentioning TPS etc and foul language closed them down and blocked the number.
They immediately rang back on another phone 02886 000411 threatening to report me, so what theyre breaking the law. After a slanging match caller then changes tone and resorts foul language when realises he has been caught and wont get any money. **LINK**

Worst provider i ever had was Talk Talk. I paid to get away after 6 weeks and they still owe me dosh after stealing phone line.

Phillip, unfortunately from brand new on its last legs i give it 18 months before as good as scrap. Been there done it and was only for roughing springs.

Phillip your merely searching for a created brand name 'assembled' for those shops. Theyre all the same order 20 you can have your own name spec and colour, simple all asian.
Without breaking a sweat a few names Chester Lux, Warco GH/Super Major, Grizly, Amadeal, Holzmann, 4 more in US.

Mick my RF 25 was more accurate, RF45 still need tramming or aligning moving heavy head up, dont trust it. Therefore no point.

One thing for sure when a part breaks you better have deep pockets comparatively.

You have to decipher what they now call manufacturing from the real manufacturing as in actually producing something, theres a big difference.
Categorised in this Mining, Quarrying, Water Supply, Waste Management just to name a few are included in production.

Latest Office for National Statistics puts 'Production' at sub 2% 10th December 2017.

I used to have serious trouble unscrewing my old ML7 chucks, always needed spindle locking down and a hard sharp smack on spanner or gripped bar in the jaws.

I often turned in reverse, machine cut better that way.

Wish i only had 1 scammer every few days, get several a day for two decades nothing new seen the lot if can be bothered to read past the headline. Just blocked and deleted.
Phone calls much worse, again wish i only had 1 a day and use same number for business!

Clive its tight on this woodruff key and decent fit of shaft. Combine that with a motor up high your back on the ceiling makes it hard to lift.

Indexables put them in the R8 collets direct and never look back, same with any cutter or tool.
Will be stupidly quicker to change, more rigid and induce less strain on head etc due the the horrible ER being extended (leverage.)

I'll have to put you right on certain things there within UK GDP in UK is sub 2.5% (peanuts.) Rest made of our wealth is made up of non productive such as banking in London.

Its not inefficient to support your own economy and lose all rights, money is ploughed back in rather than supporting foreign countries.
Do agree the get rich days are mostly gone, but whats it done to economy and labour force, we have nothing. Tell you what attempt to fill in anything that asks your job role, nothing exists even Engineering is swabbed off on other newly created things.

Out dated methods funny, i compete with cncers worldwide and wipe the floor with them. Theyre just basic non savy couldnt care less and do whats quickest to eliminate tooling, setups, programming and operations involved mean while baffling you with science, charging 40% more for 1/14 th the work. Theyre always the ones touting for work often paying exorbitant marketing costs monthly, i havent and never would lower myself to do any that for one main reason, i dont need to.

True in one sense as we dont produce anything any more, on the other hand delivery no matter where you are has to be paid.
No different to UK shopping inland price is an overall cost not just the product ignoring delivery and associated extras. There again you could sell an item cheap and pass the collection onus to buyer travelling a 400 mile round trip which in all reality wouldnt show up as a cost of at least £180 (45p/mile what UK gov allows businesses to claim) and hours of downtime.

So if countries like US charge exorbitant delivery presumably on basis they dont want the hassle of export, customs etc and all that goes with it, theyre not worth dealing with. Works both ways, or one way in this instance for many years.

US to import 2 off 51 1/2" long x 18" wide x 3 1/2" thick boxed each weighing 88lb was £236 delivery in 2006. Now you wont find any that will undertake the shipping outside US regardless of price.
England exporting to US an item £900 turns out to a US buyer paying £1600 region and gone up massively in the last year to deter foreign imports. Theyre going ape over it, what was $2000 now around $2800 in last 12 months.

Normal nuts and a strong locktite

Letters and what they call large letters are good, £3.35 sub 100g and £5.15 to 250g and thats Air Mail, usually gets there in 5 days to Aus, 2 days to NZ.

Wherever you go over certain weights the price can be shocking.
For instance RM up to 6kg is over £228.2 and they wont pay out when stolen same with any couriesr as well last 1 1/2 decades so don pay it.
Substitute for up to 2kg its £184.

Anything over a ceratin weight its worth while approaching dedicated couriers. Some will have three brand names even use other couriers to get the product to its destination.
