Bought a HF mini mill a few days ago (lightly used), so got it home and have torn it down and am cleaning and
relubricating as I go. I've got to the spindle now and am noticing that the shank will go in about an inch or so
then is very hard to insert any further. When I was taking things apart it was a bit difficult getting the shank out
of the spindle.
So is this in the range of "normal?"
I've looked at the shank and it appears to be well finished, smooth with no burrs or such. When shining a flashlight
into the spindle bore it looks as if the surface finish is a bit rough!
I'm still cleaning other parts and probably going to wait until I get the belt drive kit before I do much with this machine.
Any suggestions on how to attack the problem would be appreciated.
Thanks,
