BTW: I left I missed the prefix on the spindle type in my first post. Should be:
DMS.100.AL.4.FOS

Thanks gotis and bodger.
We'll report back re bearing sizes.
Bodger: As my friend mentioned, he has already pulled the top and encoder off and there does not seem to be a nut at the upper end of...

Hi Bodger,

I'm passing on the email and photos my friend sent me today. He's feeling and learning as he goes and has had a couple false starts as he tries to figure the best sequence to pull...

Thanks

theBodger,

My 'hands on' friend who will be doing the work on the spindle would like to know whether there is any way of removing the bottom spindle bearings with the motor in situ?
We are hoping...

Thans a bunch for your reply bodger.

The machine is a 1997 model and max spindle speed is 8000rpm so I gather from what you have said that the bearings would probably be steel...?

Hi all,

I've just purchased an FB-2 and would love to get a few ideas as to how others have converted their Emco's. They are a lovely little machine and seem very suitable for a relatively simple...

So won't the original application in which the 3D CAD file was generated give you the numbers you want?
ACAD, Solid Works, Inventor. pro-Eng etc etc will all give you mass properties. What is the...

Hi brian,

Are you talking about a 2D or 3D CAD file??? Format??
