Title: Nut size
Post by: JustinW_NZ on August 15, 2016, 06:23:45 PM
Hi all

Quick question
woodmizer lt40super, what is the nut size on the roller bearings holding the mill head on the rails?

I cant find the spanner I used to use for that job and have the mill 4 hours drive from me currently so thought I better go get a new spanner before I install the new bearing.

A link to a parts manual would do the trick too as I'm sure its in there too (my book is down with the mill)

Thanks in advance
Justin

Thanks for that, I will go to the store tomorrow before I leave and get one - Since we are metric around here I don't have lots of imperial sized spanners lying about!

Cheers
Justin

I'm trying to remember what a spanner is.  :D

I recently encountered this with a piece of equipment built across the Atlantic.  The owners manual kept referring to a "spanner" and I finally realized that they were talking about a "socket".   ;D

This is what we call a Spanner Wrench in Pa.

In down-under speak, is a spanner a socket or a wrench? ???

I think it's a combo wrench outside the US. In the US it's what Kbeitz shows.

If you are talking about the cam follower bearings the end wrench size is 15/16
