I recently acquired a Yuasa spindle speed multiplier with a straight shank. Woo! Hoo! The seller had said it had a 3/4 shank, and I already had a couple 3/4 Kwik 200 holders. Alas! As soon as I opened the box I knew the seller didn't own a caliper.... or even a ruler. LOL.

I had to chase down a 1" holder for the Hurco, but now I have the ability to turn upto 10,000 RPM. Knowing these speeders are hard to find, and new ones are expensive I want to take care of it. There is nothing in the box resembling documentation, so I was wondering about lubrication, bearing replacement (if needed), other service, power handling capability, etc.

Anybody have good direct knowledge of these or even a manual they could scan and forward? Be willing to share?

Thanks,
Bob

Even just a decent recommended service and interval would be appreciated.

I just wanted to say congratulations, this one thing will expand your
mill's capabilities by so much! I am also looking for one.

They sent me scans of original documentation. I've had such poor luck at
getting documentation on older equipment from the original companies the
last few times I've tried that I hadn't even tried until you suggested it.

Thanks.

This is because of corporate acquisition carnage. I hate it.

I just got some new goodies, including a '40s vintage Norton 6x18
surface grinder (hydraulic traverse and cross feed). A quick search
online found the company that acquired the Norton grinder line, and they
have scans of the owners and parts manuals online for downloading. I
similarly found that Kohler has the manuals for 30+ year old engines all
scanned and will send you the links to download them if you email. Some
companies still support old stuff, and we should do what we can to
support them.

Speaking of "Supporting companies who still support Old Stuff" - has
anyone heard from Scott Logan lately?

Add Fischer-Precise to the list. One of the goodies I got over the
weekend is a Precise S 65 high speed spindle. I emailed them requesting
any manuals or documentation on this older but nice unit before heading
out to lunch, an hour and a half later I get an email with a copy of the
manual for the spindle and other info. Very nice :)

The S 65 is a very nice high speed grinding / milling spindle, up to
45,000 RPM. I think this will work very nicely with a clamp on bracket
to hang it from the L320 quill and take care of my needs for higher than
the 4,500 RPM the mill spindle does.

He posted to the Yahoo lathe-list Saturday, May 25. And he sure is the poster boy for supporting old stuff.
