Hi
I needed to purchase a new Spindle for my Waldown Drill Press that I am restoring. I purchased a replacement Spindle from Brobo however it turns out that my Waldown was one of the first 8SN series ever made. The first 8SN series had a spindle with a 16.3mm diameter spoke section however later version came with a 16.5mm. Waldown/Brobo do not have any 16.3mm spindles.
So my question is how difficult would it be to remove 0.2mm from the spindle on a metal lathe? Without compromising the concentric nature of the spindle.
I assume the spindle would be hardened steel.
Now I can buy a 1044110 – Upper Sleeve $88.00+GST from Brobo that will fit the new 16.5 spindle. For simplicity should I just buy a new Upper Sleeve or is reducing the size of the spoke section by 0.2mm doable?
Here is a photo of what I mean.
