    Rockwell vertical mill, spindle locked up

    I got it apart using the impact gun and strap wrench method, and it worked very well. The spindle is apart and it looks like the spindle jumped in the quill and the lock nut dug into a taper in the quill. While its apart I'd like to change the bearings, what would be a good source for them...

    Rockwell vertical mill, spindle locked up

    Thanks for the suggestions, I know what I'll be doing this weekend. It's out of the vice, this was one of my concerns as well. I'll re make the spanner wrench tomorrow with a nut on it for impact gun. Thanks again!

    Rockwell vertical mill, spindle locked up

    So I took the quill out, and my problem is now I am having difficulty disassembling. I really do not want to damage it any more than it is. The snap ring on the top is broken and wedged, and the nut on the bottom isn't breaking loose. Is there a shop that I could send this to for repair? Any...

    Recommend a milling table

    I won't be milling anything...lol. I'm just looking for a work holding fixture, that I can bolt down a vise, and have the ability to move it on a x-y axis.

    Recommend a milling table

    Hi, I posted last week about a Buffalo 22 I just got, and I want to get a x-y milling table for it. I've seen some on eBay, and other sites, but most look like foreign junk. Can you guys recommend one, or point me to the right direction? Thanks!

    Buffalo #22, new to me

    I got mine for $450, including a set of 4mt bits and readers, 2 Jacobs chucks, and a dozen adapters. I'm getting a manual from BMT, hopefully next weekend I can take the spindle apart and figure out how I'm going to fix the runout.
