Replacing Spindle
Cartridge Assembly
The spindle cartridge assembly features factory-
sealed bearings. A sealed bearing requires no
lubrication during its lifetime.
If a bearing fails, your shaper will probably devel-
op a noticeable rumble, which increases when the
machine is put under load. If allowed to worsen,
overheating of the housing containing the bad
bearing could occur, which may cause the bearing
to seize and possibly damage other parts of the
machine.
The replacement procedure can be accomplished
in 15-20 minutes.
