PIC00001
Spindle, dis-assembled. The parts are arranged along a horizontal axis. There are two rows. The top row shows the main spindle and the body that it fits into. The bottom row shows the 6mm internal shaft. The arrangement shows the items that would be on top (during operation) on the left. Note the spring loading on the 6mm shaft. Is this the drawbar? I also discovered (after disassembly) that this inner shaft is threaded on the "business" end (right hand side, or "bottom" end.) This 6mm shaft has been broken off at this threaded end. Perhaps why the spindle was removed from its machine and discarded? I note the threads are also 1mm. Could this be the drawbar? What collet sizes would fit on such a threaded shaft?
