Hello, I bought a new to me tiny but very nice mill. It is a Golmatic MD23 in nice condition except for a few issues.
There is a bit of wobble in the X and Y hand wheels. Is there a good way to fix this?
I could just put a pipe with a good fit around the shaft and bend it until straight. This however does not feel right since it puts a lot of force on the bearings and might also force the bearing out of alignment.
The X axis seems fine except the hand wheel wobble. For the Y axis it seems the bearing holder is out of alignment, since the axis bond about 20mm from the end (see picture). When I pulled the pins aligning it (the black part to right in the picture) and loosened the screws a bit the axis moves freely again, I hope new pins will fix this issue.
Regards Staffan
