Kenny O Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hello All, I found a free bench grinder...(yea right, free)..But the left side needs the flanged collars and spindle nut 0.625 LH, 11tpi. The spindle nut is a beefier unit than a standard nut. What is a good resource for parts, I have been unsuccessful at locating them? thanks for your help.

Timothy Miller Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The nut you should be able to get from mcmaster-carr. They may have the flanges too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainely,Bob Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Alternately,go to the nearest repair place and ask for used replacement parts from the machines they can`t repair. Bring the grinder it`ll save you a return trip,DAMHIKT. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny O Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Mcmaster-Carr has no flanges, and I am not done searching the online catalogue for the nut, I got side tracked. I have not yet earned a hard copy catalogue of my own. I will search out a repair shop, good idea. Thank you for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny O Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 M & S had lots of picks and shovels, no Left Hand anything. McMaster Carr had the heavy duty nut, but I had to buy 6. So.. I am using a standard .625 nut, and I found a two collars from an angle grinder. The two sides have different weighted hardware, that was not my goal, but It will work fine, it might wobble a little goin' down the road though Thanks for all the input.

Sam Thompson Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 They're pretty simple things to make on a lathe; do you know anyone who has one (or who does a night shift)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny O Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 It works fine for now. I will continue to seek out parts, that's my hobby: seeking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
