Hi all,
Last Friday I purchased a BF25 L mill (http://www.buitelaar.nl/comasy/templates/product.aspx?contentid=237&productid=3620), it is sold under various names where mostly BF25 is in the name (e.g optimum / weiss). BTW, it is not obvious what the difference to the BF20 is (other than motor power).
After getting it into my garage, I noticed that the drawbar turns very unwillingly. If I try very hard I can almost turn it by hand - by far not freely.
Now my questions are :
1) After removing any tooling (MT3) from the spindle, I thought the drawbar should be able to rotate freely. Do I understand correctly?
2) I failed to understand how I could remove the drawbar in order to check for a bent drawbar. Any fellow BF 25 (or likewise) owner who could give me a hint?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Henk
