Gunner Asch,

Are you also the "Gunner" that can be found in older posts? I tried sending you a message regarding the sourcing of Bridgeport spindle bearings that was discussed quite some time ago by Gunner. I'm only cluttering up this topic because I know sometimes people register under throw away email addresses (to avoid spam) that never get checked.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

He is the "gunner" who has been making empty death threats for (at
least) the last 15 years - some bull**** about a "great cull".

Sweet, I need some new bearings for my Bridgeport so I can crank out some ghost guns to help with the cull.

Seriously though, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ive been "Gunner" or "Gunner Asch" on Usenet, since 1998, so Im
probably the wonk you are looking for.

What do you need to know about BP spindle bearings? You can get them
from just about any bearing house.

That being said..there are literally hundreds of places that will sell
you a decent set of bearings, a pair of belts and an entire kit for
little money

etc etc etc

Its easy peasy to do a spindle job and takes about 2 hours the first
time with no rushing

Maybe the nym shifter can give you info and parts sources? He walks on
water so maybe he will simply lay hands on the machine..and heal it.

If you own a Hardinge lathe....do a google on this term:

"hardinge spindle bearing re placement gunner"

You will find several versions of a procedure I wrote years ago, for
replaceing bearings in Hardinge lathes that has been well received.

I fixed that for you. No need to thank me for it.

No, he isn't that good, but he's more than good enough to rub your snout
in the **** every time.

Thanks again,
