Hey guys.
I recently bought a Boyar Schultz 612 surface grinder for $100 (very good deal). I took it apart fully and gave it a thorough cleaning. I made a 6 part video series if anyone is interested in seeing that (lookup BasementShopGuy on YouTube).
So when I put it all back together it worked really nice and solid. Only thing is that the spindle bearings are really loud. They make a whine.... Sound.
I've read one The horror stories here, about replacing spindle bearings and I wanted to know if there was any success stories that any of the members might be willing to share?
I'd like to know the steps involved to pull out the old bearings (safely). Would anyone know the part numbers and dealer info for the replacement bearings?
I figured if I could restore a bunch of South Bend lathes and a Bridgeport and replace all the bearings throughout, I might try to tackle this too. I want to at least try before sending it out and having it done by a company who rebuilds spindles. I understand it's tricky and you can't cheap out. Environment also needs to be super clean.
I just need need some procedural info on disassembly and the partno for bearings.
So.... Anyone ever do this?
