Hi to you all,
I seized the opportunity, today, to at last re grease the Bearings on my " Tough " Lathe.
A very easy job really, 3 counter sunk Metal Threads, which allows you to remove the Bearing Cover Plate.
Take a very pointy tool, to remove the Plastic Bearing Cover.
Remove all the old grease.
Well, there was a surprise, as the Cover says,
" Koyo " Japan, RL 58RS. Don't know what that means.
Can not fault these Bearings as I bought the New Tough, back in 1990, & when in use it travels at 3000revs 90% of the time.
Always thought they were Timken Bearings.
The Grease I use is Molykote BR 2Plus.
It wood be interesting to know what Bearings are in the other Tough's.
We had a Count Up on all Tough Lathes, & it turned out there were quite a few.
