    Recommendations for R8 spindle taper regrinding

    I would like to get my R8 spindle taper reground. Does anyone have some contacts they would like to share?

    Thanks - Kris

    Any ID grinding shop can do it. It's the simplist taper to grind, you just have to find the specs for the angle to give the machinst, tell him to "just dust it".

    Other than that, you can contact a repair shop, off the top of my head,

    The Wells-Index mill company will regrind any knee mill spindle, and also offers bearing replacement. They typically run adds on Ebay selling the regrinding service.

    If you have this done locally, you want it done with the spindle mounted in the quill so any bearing misalignment is taken care of, don't have it done just using the bare spindle. Like I did back before you could get good info like this off the internet. Mine still came out pretty good though.
