Spindle repair
I just said screw it, and tossed the unit in the press. popped right
out, 30 tons is persuasive.
Discovered problem, LEFT hand threads. Didn't hurt the spindle shaft,
just the mild steel drawbar keeper. So, now i have a lathe fab job.
I guess left threads make sence, the spindle turns right 99.9% of the
time.
