No, just space-out the outer races (by 1mm or so) then use the nut to adjust the preload. Some way to keep the nut from loosening will be needed. For the not lash, it probably isn't worth worrying about over-much for a lathe. The typical lathe tool only cuts in one direction, the backlash will end up subsumed into the tool offset. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
