Adult Drawbar For My Pm25-mv

[wawoodman]

My original drawbar was wobbly in it's original flat bushing at the top of the spindle, which pretty much guaranteed the drawbar wasn't centered when tightened. With the original six-speed gearhead design, I don't think this was much of a big deal. But when I converted to belt-drive and VFD I am now capable of 5k plus spindle rpm so having things centered became a bit more important to me. So I made a flat-topped bushing that 'just' clears the spindle ID and drawbar OD. Noticeably smoother at higher spindle rpms.

Thanks. I may give that a try.

Yes...it is an adult draw bar. I'll have to whip something like that up myself. Now if we could come up with a spindle lock instead of that flat stamped C wrench.

I was watching a video on the Grizzly Go759 (which I understand to be near-identical to the PM-25MV) and the guy mentioned a Priest Tools spindle brake. Looks likely that it would fit the PM-25MV just fine. I'd link to it, but I need three posts to add links. (new here.)
