Re-assembly of headstock
Spindle adjustment & measurements
I managed to break the casting of the tumbler reverse lever in a futile attempt to free a rusted solid plunger. Bought a new on off Ebay, and moved the gears over, this time with more "finesse" :)
I replaced the thrust bearing "combo". This consist of 2 one-sided thrust bearings mounted back to back, with a distance piece inbetween so that when the inner race flanges are squeezed together a certain preload is obtained.
NB! I of course replaced both as a pair. .the video content can be mistaken so that only one of the 2 was replaced, but this is just down to the stupidity of the video maker/editor.. (had a pair of the Myford clutch assembly bearings as well as for the Raglan also on the milling machine table when documenting the sequence..)
I followed the description on the spindle-assembly as written into the instruction manual. I have a copy, but you may also just google for example "Myford Super 7 spindle adjustment" , which will produce a lot of pics and threads for guidance
Next up will be measurements
