Hello all,
Hoping some of you with more experience than myself can help resolve an issue I'm having with my lathe. It's a 1978 TSL-800D, and as title suggests, it's been slinging oil past the splash guard at the end of the spindle. I've reached out directly to Takisawa about the issue but their documentation is rather limited on these older machines. I'm suspecting its an issue with the splash guard or oil thrower itself (PN's 02-60, 02-61, respectively) but I don't think I can inspect it without pulling the spindle itself and I am not familiar with that procedure. This is a production machine in a manufacturing environment so downtime hurts and the last thing I want to do is have it sit waiting for parts. In the meantime it still works, just a bit messier than usual.
Thanks.
