My CNC lathe came with a seized live center in the tailstock. I
finally got it out. NSK brand. disassenmbled it and found the
"spindle" is pitted from coolant that got past the seal and just laid
in there. The front bearing, a needle roller, rides directly on the
"spindle". So I would need a new spindle and complete set of
bearings. Worth it? Can you even get parts from NSK?
#4 MT
Not sure if "spindle" is the correcxt term for this part.
Thank You,

Live centers can be had for $35 in good condition.
How many do you need? And one assumes #4 MT?
I need one #4MT prefer CNC extented point style. Why they even
still make the old style is beyond me.
What you got?
Thank You,
Randy
