Thought I'd pull this out of another thread I've been getting help on as it's a new topic.
I refurbed the spindle bearings in my Grizzly G0935 drill mill and after re-assembly was hearing a lot of knocking. I've narrowed it down (I think) to the play between the splined-shaft of the spindle and the splined-housing of the pulley. The play is pretty significant in all three rotational axes: I can pitch, roll ,and yaw quite a bit before the splines engage.
Is this to be expected? Could it be the cause of the knocking sound? And the heat in the pulley (it gets 120F hot)?
Appreciate any help and experience.
