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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |
