Bloemfontein service week
Alignment and belt plan before a new spindle buy.
The workshop
A cabinet shop in Bloemfontein planning to buy a new spindle.
The brief
Cut quality had dropped and the owner assumed the spindle was worn out.
What we did
- Ran a full alignment and belt check
- Replaced two glazed belts
- Checked runout, which was within limits once the collet was replaced
- Surfaced the spoilboard
How it turned out
The spindle was fine. With alignment and belts sorted, cut quality returned and the spindle purchase was cancelled.
