How The Heck Do I Change Out My R8 Spindle When Bearings Go Bad? How Do I Swap Out My Pulley Belt?
Our friend Bob Ross once stated that “You'll never believe what you can do until you get in there and try it.”
At Wrench Wench Worx, we value the spirit of perseverance and curiosity as every happy little accident opens up new experiences and learning opportunities.
With business in an upswing and more high tolerance work flowing into the shop, Jenny is tuning up the CNC team for the epic adventures ahead - starting with Ole's new spindle in this video.
Climb aboard our two foot step ladder as we explore the caverns of Ole's spindle casting and battle our most worthy adversary yet - the dreaded new spindle belt inspiration. (OK....it is really not THAT bad....just awkward and a bit cramped.)
For more thorough and detailed information on Power Draw Bar rebuilds as well as how to check your machine tool for lost motion and backlash - venture over to visit our friend John Saunders at NYC CNC as he tackles both challenges with efficiency and precision in his maintenance series.

Stay tuned later in the week as we take it all off (meaning Ole's table, of course), so that we can explore what lies beneath all that cool cast iron!
