So I decided to order a steam engine kit the other day......
And of course having used machines that felt a little, well not smooth, went to tearing things down to figure out where the problems were.
I’ve gone through the lathe, but not the mill (TWS MD 20).
Turns out I had some bearing issues and a real need to service the table.
The thrust bearings on both axis were trashed so I’m headed to the local bearing outfit to see if I can find what I need.
More pics to follow.
