Spindle Repair

[BrandanS]

Dear ShopBotters,

I was wondering if anyone has attempted, and further had success, repairing their spindles. My spindle has seized from what feels like bearings which have gone. I have a replacement now, but I was wondering if it would be worthwhile having a shop have a look at the repair, so that I can retain a spare (refurbished).

Thanks,

Brandan

I understand that some are not worth rebuilding while others may be, please post the model, etc so those with experience can weigh in.

This appears to be an HSD 3HP spindle.
