Denford Triac Spindle making an odd noise. Bearings at fault?

[Lieutenant Swarf]

My mod was quite a bit of work. I think the lathe work alone took about 3-4 hours, as it was a big lump of bar to hollow out.

Now I've had time, this post gives the process of renewing the bearings - http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/10344...8817#post88817

And the spindle motor mods start a bit further down that page - http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/10344...9732#post89732

Wow MC that is outstanding work on that Mod! Really inspiring stuff.

I was lucky in that I had time to design a suitable mod, and didn't have to rush and make do with whatever I could my hands on.

If you want the fusion 360 files or any drawings, let me know and I can email them across. To design it I had to create a model of the head casting, so I could see what would/wouldn't fit.
