I’m just starting the restoration of a #2 mill. I want to remove an arbor that has been in the machine for several years. Can anyone tell me how to lock the spindle on a machine that’s not operational yet?

Thanks,

Jim
 
If any room....

Get a 1 X 1 piece of CRS in the spindle nose face key slot(s) and rest its end on a pad on the table. You'll need to take the face keys out to do this so you can bolt the CRS in if you like

Ok, thanks. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something before resorted to external locking methods
 
Typical draw bar (B&S shown) for these has a fixed nut (for holding bar from turning) and a loose nut for tightening (or loosening) drawbar.

Once the DB is loose you smack it to loosen tooling in the NMTB #50 taper in spindle nose

No holding of spindle needed
