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
1-1/8" on mine

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

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.

Exactly
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
