I'm cleaning up the used Hammer B3 I bought last week and am now working on the shaper. The spindle seems stuck, or I don't know what I'm doing...
Any advice on pulling the spindle out of the machine? (I want to install an 1.25" spindle instead)
Can someone tell me the name of the tools I can use to loosen the collet? (Hopefully, they're commonly available.)
Does the collet loosen counterclockwise or clockwise? (tight threads, tough to be confident)
Many thanks,
Mike
