I have a Spanish tool grinder, Premeta SL, a reasonable copy of a Deckel SO D-bit grinder.
The general condition is OK, but the sliding clamp fitting to the main horizontal shaft (Main Axle) is excessively worn.
A proposed correction requires boring out the original casting and fitting a sleeve.
The casting is 35 mm diameter at minimum, the axle is 24.99 mm diameter.
A sleeve of 1.5 mm wall thickness in extruded cast iron is suggested.
Does this sound doable ?
The sleeve needs a split for operation, but there are a couple of areas to be resolved.
The casting is only split for a part of its length, should the sleeve be split to match, or full length ?
Should the sleeve be glued into the casting ?
Stay well,
John.
