Hi all
I posted this over in the general section as part of a related thread, but didn't get any responses so hopefully there's someone over here who knows about these old spindles...
I have a precise super 65 grinding / high speed milling spindle which I'd like to take apart. It has a long, extended nose on it, and I'm trying to see if it can be removed to give a shorter nose.
There are two spanner nuts at either end of the long nose piece. I was able to remove the bigger one, and underneath it almost looks like the nose piece inserts into the main housing via a Jacobs taper or similar - would that make sense? The long nosepiece doesn't rotate - only the 1/4" inner shaft.
I haven't yet been able to break the smaller spanner nut free to see what comes loose under there.
Also, it looks like there's a split shell surrounding the main body housing. I thought maybe I could use a screwdriver in the slot to open it up and slide it off, but the slot is way too narrow for that. Any thoughts on whether that should come off?
Thanks for any advice offered,
Lee
