Hello,
I have a boyar schultz 612 with a noisy spindle. I turned it on the other day and it was even noisier than usual. I turned it off and it the spindle stopped immediately. I took it apart, cleaned and inspected it. Couldn't find any obvious damage but it seemed like the bearing at the wheel's end had a very loose cage. Regreased, reassembled, and found it to be even noisier, but with no resistance in the spindle when stopping, like before.
It has an oscillating sort of vibration pattern to it now that is enough so that you can just barely feel it in the concrete.
Do you think replacing the bearings could bring this thing back to normal? I don't mean "will it" but rather could it? Are there special precautions that I need to take? What bearing rating do I need for a good chance at a successful repair?
Seems like I can get any kind I want up to an abec-7, hybrid ceramic for about 200ish each. Not an expense I want, but the next best option seems to be to buy a grizzly to replace it
