X3 Drawbar Question - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I've got my new X3 home, and, on the theory that's there's no such as a stupid question when you don't know the answer, how do you hold the spindle still to loosen the drawbar?

I can't believe the manual doesn't say a thing about it. As a matter of fact I don't see R8 in there anywhere ......

As an aside, on a knee mill I've seen the brake being held to work the drawbar. The X3 I'm assuming has electronic braking, but who'd wanna hold that?

Thanx Hoss. You da man! My Harbor Freight manual just found a home in the circular file and the Grizzly manual is currently spitting out of my printer.

Yeah HF is cheaper than Grizzly, guess they save their money using less paper for manuals.
