I'm trying to open it to get the bearings out for replacement but warping the quill I am worried about.There are probably precision bearings in there, quite expen$ive. Do not overheat them. I would not heat them over 150 F.
300F (?) Don't want to temper the spindle hardness, much less warp it.I'm trying to open it to get the bearings out for replacement but warping the quill I am worried about.
Ok. I'll set up in the morning to give it a good crack the other way.My Burke Millrite has a left hand quill bottom thread.
