Lathe Spindle Bearing Adjustment
Hi All
After about 35 happy years with my lathe it has come time to change my drive belt. This involves taking my spindle out - no real issue with this.
When I go to reassemble it I would like some advice from you guys about adjusting the spindle bearings please.
The spindle is supported by tapered roller bearings and my question is about how to adjust them when I put it back together.
Should there be a small clearance or should it be preloaded? Of course I want the best for precision work and not to damage my bearings.
So whats the opinions- small clearance and how much or preloaded and how much?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
