If you were a machinist, you wouldn't want any dimension taken with a cheap pair of calipers from Harbor Freight.fmblizz wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 4:23 pm First thing to do is verify the spindle hole is the problem using tape wrapped around the spindle.
If it's not broke, don't fix it. Don't take the spindle out needlessly. Measure the spindle diameter at the bottom where the pin goes through it and give the machinist the measurement . You will only have to take the turntable to a machine shop to have it plugged and resized. The spindle is not needed..
If you have a Harbor Freight in your area, pick up a cheap pair of calipers to more accurately measure the spindle.
