Woodstock System W1827 Manuale Utente

-41-

The spindle cartridge assembly equipped with the Model 
W1827 features factory-sealed bearings, which require no 
lubrication during their lifetime.

In the rare event that a bearing fails, your shaper will 
probably develop a noticeable rumble that will increase 
when the machine is put under load. If allowed to get 
worse, overheating of the journal containing the bad 
bearing could occur. If the bad bearing is not replaced, it 
will eventually seize—doing damage to other parts of the 
machine.

Bearings are standard sizes and can be found through 
any regular bearing supply store or by ordering through 
Woodstock International. However, it is much easier to 
just replace the entire spindle cartridge assembly as one 
unit (part #X1827157A, see 

=`^li\,+).

=`^li\,,% Resurfacing a shaper fence on a 

jointer.

The fence can be resurfaced or made flat with a jointer 
to correct any warping. This procedure should only be 
done if the fences will not align with each other after 
careful adjustment or they are warped.

(%  Make sure the fence face mounting screws are far 

enough below the surface of the fence that they will 
not contact the jointer knives during operation.
