Help With Btc 1

[TRANSATOOL]

Hello,

Looking For Help. Tools Are Loose In The Spindle.
Tool Change Works Fine.
This Machine Is In Great Shape Except For This Problem.
I Have The Manual But There Is Nothing About This Issue.
Any Help Would Be Appreciated

Thanks,
Transatool

Some one has ran the spindle without a toolholder in the quill and the quill all the way up, retracted, the drawbar retention nut rubs in the pot on top and loosens. Remove the quill and tighten the nut, its a little tricky to get perfect but there is a page in the maint. manual on it. Its been a while since it hapened to us so I don't remember the exact details but get ahold of me if you need help, good luck, Jon P

There is an additional possibility that you have some broken spring washers inside the spindle. These apply about 1500 pounds of force on the drawbar. Again, see the manual cross sectional view of the spindle.

Been There done that I went through this with mine I made a plate to suport the spindle to test it in the press and a socket to tighten the nut Emale if you need help the washer's I may have extras Good luck Kevin
