I received this 5c collet spin indexer from viewer Rick and you know it
seems to work right it worked great or it works great and it's really in very
good shape so but I was having problems with the indexing ring here having play
when it was indexed like oh well maybe there's something that's worn out of the
piano or something now it has set screws that go all the way around here and by
adjusting putting these in or out they're special you can see that special
design there they allow a pin to drop into the indexing hole in the back that
was pin and spring-loaded this is the pin and it's hardened and tapered and it
goes right in there nice and actually gets very nice very good fit it goes in
there nice and tight and tapered because of the taper it's snug so I probably
just wasn't going in deep enough or I didn't I mean I didn't have the screw
back down far enough for that to go in and lock in or which is probably more
likely because I tried different settings on the screws is that having
the handle this handle goes down in the hole here and this is against the spring
not it wasn't when when this is back all the way here
it wasn't allowing the pin to go in far enough into the hole when it's at rest
so yeah that's my I think is more that because I try different settings on the
screws so I'm going to have to make sure this is in there properly to engage the
gears that allows it to push out the spring that's inside here pushes this
out enough that this can swing out enough and allow proper CD I'm going to
pull the spring out make sure it's not broken also anyway so let's show I'll
show you how to set reassembly of this saying it and how good shape it is this
is the main spindle it has a hardened like thrust washer here in the front and
this is see this is this is kind of a just a thread protector over these
threads which you could put a Chuck on to
it is hard to them now this has a ratcheting mechanism in the front for a
hand for a handle so to make it easier to spin that I'm going to I've cleaned
all this and I'm just going to put the hottest Synthetica mobile grease on here
little thin coat it was pretty dry but it's in great shape there's absolutely
no signs of human usage I would say almost this largest lip sitting here
like that
and now we're ready here here's the spring that goes in the indexing pin and
that looks just fine nothing wrong with that right
just wipe a little grease on it just for corrosion and give it and this is the
pin just putting a little tiny a little tiny bit of grease on that
and that's going to slip in there
alright so I pushed it down here and then just push depress the spring so I
have it engaged now I can see that it comes out much more than I did before
and this would tight against here so I'm in just one probably tooth over when I
go all the way back or all the way forward
it will clear the spinning index disc just like that
and that's what I want it wasn't coming out up all the way it was only coming to
about there before it's not very far you can see here before I was only coming
out about that far which is not quite all the way now it will go all the way
back and come farther out so it allowed his seat into the hole fully there's a
little set screw that retained else within the spindle
whenever a nice this here is keyed on the end of the spindle shaft see here
there's a key way put a couple of little dabs of grease on there now I know it'll
make it a little binding but you know the grease will be just fine probably
should just use a little dab of oil but we're going to put a little dirt inside
I don't you I won't use this I don't use it that much but I just kind of tap this
off with a very nice fit we're just going to tap that back on there
this is a locking ring that goes in on the back of the spindle to hold the
index disc on it is has a straight neural or almost a gear tooth pattern on
the back because there's a little locking tab that matches that that goes
in to hold this in place it's just you know it just goes on there tight enough
to keep things together and just you know for friction of everything
he's an adjuster here
pull that forward so it's out of the indexing holes and you can spin it Oh
see now there's like there's zero play in the rotate rotor reaction that's what
I wanted so I'm going to use this to mill the end the brooches for the Compaq
rotary broach kit and there was too much play to get accurate indexing now
there's zero play and this is going to work just beautiful if you little bit a
little bit tighter right I still have a gap here alright just to make this a
little snugger so there's no just so there's no employee or axial play move
moment movement you know
that looks really good
turns freely and I have no perceptible axial motion then you have this locking
key you can see the serrations on there there's a little bit of a bugger you get
out of there what it was free but it a
little hard to get out and I had to use a magnet and wiggle in it and then
finally got it out of there now we just got to get so there anything lines up
and so it just slips in and that doesn't feel right it's going to go
there you go
and there's a cover ring it goes over this
so that stops the actors look let's stop you from back and one of those all the
way out you can just bet you just got to back it out to until it touches and you
should be just fine so I have there's 24 holes I have six them back out every
fourth fourth screw I want to make a heck stroke and we have the part that
block now the five see call it comes in from the other end screws into this this
is the tensioner and the quick-release mechanism and we have a yoke handle that
goes this goes over this flip all that and I put a little oil and stuff on that
and this will flip in there this long screw goes on the bottom as the pit
bottom pivot
three for the top Tivat in and out a little nice and smooth
thank you so this goes around the front here now there this is a clamping you
know to Pio this is a two-piece clamping setup around here and it meets with
conical shape around there and then there's a small pin right here even has
a key in it half of its cut away to catch in this scallop shaped ratchet
system so it's made to pull that way so that pin obviously only goes in one way
but there's a key in there to help you there keep that proper alignment
Oh
that gives you the ability to heard enough
there we go and then the pin locks in in your Goldman that's nice and tight no
play I like it call it
send this screw call it
or piece of stock
there we go set nice ready to roll yeah we'll get it back we'll get it set
up on the mill and ready to do our machine work for the next part they have
me wake it thanks you guys thanks for watching
