We don't like to think about it, but machines break, and always at the worst possible time. This video shows you how to do spindle and gearbox repairs on both the mini mill and the mini lathe. You will see how to do a total drive train teardown, rebuild and reassembly of both machines. You'll learn how to tear down and reassemble the entire unit in just a few hours, using a simple set of spacers and plates to enable you to press your spindle and bearings in and out of the machine.
