First just need to know which bluing grease gives a nice impression for taper contact? Seem to remember one being pretty light and I think that is the one I have. It works but rather get the good stuff.
Also, we have several used holders around and reluctant to throw them in a good spindle for fear they will damage the spindle taper. Is there a master that we can buy to blue and inspect holders? Several of ours have little dings from handling but are otherwise fine. I would would be ok smoothing the high spots and using but I don't want a high spot going in the spindle and causing damage.
And for thought, anyone have many retention studs break off? We don't really have a system of replacement but it always scares me to think how much tension is on these studs and if this snap, very bad things happen. I know of many huge facilities that still don't seem to replace these things but they also have no problem buying a $20k spindle.
