I'm taking some weird perverse pleasure from detailing all my problems, that everyone predicted, in this thread :)
Soooo... I love what I can do to delrin with my litle 6040, but today I had some problems caused by spindle runout (think that's the term, spindle shaft wobbles in the bearings).
It might be getting worse, or maybe it's just the grease getting pushed out. Unfortunately I don't have the means to measure it.
I'm in eBay conflict resolution with the seller. I don't really want to send it all back but it's trying my patience now. I've given him the option to replace the spindle, with a warning that if he sends another duff one he's gettting the whole lot back. Or if he hasn't got any good ones he can refund me money to replace it.
So anyone got a reliable source for a 800W spindle?
Or should I be thinking about stripping it down and replacing the bearings with quality items?
