Hi Roland,
I thought about using a friend but I tend to outlive them. Lost a couple
lately that would have been ideal. That is the trouble with getting old.
;-)
If the machine were in a nice open shop where just running in a tall
forklift and picking up the
transmission, etc and lifting it off to the side it indeed would be
easier. What would have been not too difficult 10 years ago is somewhat
intimidating now.
'Sides I'm not the best supervisor.
Still thanks for the idea.
Dave

Surely you could hire a buff mechanic from down the road and totally
supervise/instruct him what to do?

Hi,
My Mazak V5 has been down for a few years. First for brushes on the
spindle motor and then a much more serious broken belleville stack.
Unfortunately, the spindle on this model comes out from the top which
means pulling all the hydraulics and the spindle motor/transmission and
getting them out of the way. I don't see that is it possible to replace
the stack w/o fussing with all of the above.
Note: I'm 4 score and 4 and not as energetic as I used to be.
A couple of solutions present themselves but neither are ideal.
Simply use the M6 shcs that hold the dogs in place to secure the CAT40.
Balance and adequate strength/safety would seem to present problems.
The other solution is to simple punt and epoxy a CAT40 in place and live
with the restrictions.
Candidate CAT40 is a SK16 with holders for end mills up to M16 and at
least consider adding an ER20//ER16 with a M16 stub (custom dia) to
drill/ream. I have sets of ER20 and ER16 collets.
Note: spindle is 4000 rpm and 5 HP geared.
If anyone has a better idea I'm all ears.
As usual TIA: I seem to be out of easy/ideal solutions.
Dave
