Get replacement bearings for the drill press in the CNC room #1927

Open helicalbytes opened 4 months ago

helicalbytes commented 4 months ago

The drill press in the CNC room has failing bearings.

Machine: Chester machine tools, 'Drill Sergeant'. Model number D13R.

Manual: https://www.chesterhobbystore.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/D-Series-Drill-Press-manual.pdf

There seem to be several bearings, including one (no. 69 in the manual) of which there are 2. These and number 77 look as if they are on the drill head itself.

Spare parts might be obtainable via this link

This may not require bearings. have had a read through the manual and it could be that the arbour needs reseating or cleaning and reseating.

Need to find the drift key to remove and check.
