Novamill X bearings.

Post by MortenL » Sun 06 Sep , 2015 11:44 am

Hi all,

I have a novamill from august/2000, nice Little machine, but was more than surprised when I saw the open bearings on the X ballscrew the other day (see Pictures)...

You can see the paint on the outer bearing part so it has been like that since new... and the mill is like new...

Is there surposed to be a seal here??

Regards Morten

Thanks, why would denford leave the angular contact bearings open?

Guess I will put a 19-32-7 seal in...
