drill press spindle bearing preload
Some time ago I got a 15" Clausing drill press that had some weird
spindle problem. Never got around to screwing with the old one and finally bent over for a new one from Clausing. I did talk them down in price. All the folks I spoke to over there were very helpful. So it got the new spindle and bearings. All that slides into the quill with a lock collar to keep the assmebly from falling apart. I can only assume some sort of preload is needed to keep things from getting sloppy under any load. How hard should I snug on the spindle against the lock collar before tightening it against the bearing? The spindle is 5/8" in diameter. |

Not in the instructions, those 50 language documents you have to
decipher ? I'd call Clausing tech support and ask. Martin On 8/21/2015 3:28 PM, Cydrome Leader wrote: Some time ago I got a 15" Clausing drill press that had some weird spindle problem.
