Yes it could have been worse. It could have been mineIt turns out to be a fault in the sensor in the coolant filler bottle so that will be another quick couple of hundred spent.Could have been worse.
The start of month 2 has gone well
I have ordered a new vfd to replace the one I fried on Saturday so I can get the lathe running again.
It is my Dad's 91st birthday on Thursday and I am looking forward to seeing him
Hope everyone is staying safe and well and enjoying themselves as much as I am!!

Got both inner races off pretty easily, all the dimensions bizarrely, for both bearings, are bang on a whole mm except for one, the inner diameter of the biggest one, and that is within .02 of a mm.
hopeful of finding new ones now.

A tube of bearing glue might fix that if the shaft is undersize and you have to go up.Got both inner races off pretty easily, all the dimensions bizarrely, for both bearings, are bang on a whole mm except for one, the inner diameter of the biggest one, and that is within .02 of a mm.

Bearing Boys, Simply Bearings and Whych Bearings are my usual targets.

One of the cars on my "Want one" list.
They used to be cheap as chips. A mate of mine had one, tough as old boots and great rally winners in the day.
(I'll look a right dick now if it isn't one.)
Worth dosh too, once done up a bit beyond this!
Looks to me like a very old Volvo.

Cheers mate!
I don't think the fit will be an issue although of course it is possible that some wear has occurred, it honestly doesn't look like it. No scoring on the spindle at all. The bearings took all the punishment!
If I can't drive to a local supplier I'll certainly check out the companies you have mentioned.
Thanks Mate!!
