Spindle removal on a Denbigh floor standing pillar drill

wrjenkinson · Sep 6, 2018

Hello All!

So I managed to bend the spindle on our pillar drill.
The arbor and chuck look ok as I've managed to get them out and have a look at them.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove the spindle and quill so I can see whats bent and what needs replacing or straightening.

I've attached what I found online as the closest thing to a manual I can get and some pictures in it's current state.

Apologies for the lopsided images, they seem to flip to landscape when I upload them.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Not directly familiar with the machine, but looking at the pictures you supplied, I would focus attention on the top of the drive pulley, where there appears to be a locknut. You may have to fabricate a tool with drive pin to loosen it, and find a way at the same time to prevent the spindle from rotating. Once the pulley is off you should find further locknut(s) which keep the spindle in place, which, when removed should allow the spindle to be dropped out..
