... The rear set.
I have two adverse conditions in my 10EE spindle at the moment.
The first, is that when grabbing the spindle tail and attempting to deflect the spindle, I can read .001" of deflection on a proper test bar, 12" out from spindle nose, using a .00005" indicator. ( also used a .0001" indicator )
The second, is that there is a slight "tight" spot in the spindle when rotating it by hand to assess the test bar's runout.
I believe I have traced both conditions back to the rear bearing set. The front bearing set seems to be okay at the moment. I have found that I can relieve the tight spot by loosening or removing the rear-most bolt of the bearing retainer plate on the rear of the spindle. ( the one at the Nine'o'clock position when looking directly at it. )
This is a Round Dial 10EE. Looking for some heads-ups in preparation of digging in to replace the rear bearing set. The wisdom of previous experience is appreciated. I have tried searching. The signal to noise ratio leaves me with little good information able to be found through searches. Hence, my asking here, now.
Thanks.
