Asroba/meyer & Burger UW1

[Dave Paine]

A page from Lathes.UK site. A very interesting machine. As mentioned about the machinist equivalent of a Shopsmith for woodworking, but this one is a lot more precise and robust.

Well if you did want to sell it I'd be interested-But for the price you got it for you should keep it and fix it up, they're rare here

I'll keep that in mind. If I do decide to sell it I'll offer it here first. It would be FOB 97526

Hello MattM

I also have a Meyer Burger UW1

I had to dismantle the spindle. I took some pictures of them. I will upload the link later


Maybe it helps you...



And why do you have to change the bearings? Are they sound not good, or are they just loose? If they are loose, you can also just loosen this screw and tighten again. The bearing should be given the correct pretension by the spring pressure.

Very helpful. Thank you.

My problem is removing the nut from the bull gear. Despite repeated and aggressive attempts I have been unable to budge it.

Any ideas?

Left hand thread maybe? Impact wrench?

Left hand thread maybe? Impact wrench?

Not a left ahnd thread because there is a right hand thread locknut that was not too difficult to remove.
