SKIL 100 housing repair; bearing sleeves/bores
Has anyone tried repairing spun out sleeves/bores by setting loose fitting bearings with Loctite 660 or Loctite 638?
I read that some people have used epoxy, but that the fix usually still exhibits noise/vibration.
I suppose that a really really good machine shop might be able to remove and replace the pressed in sleeves. However, that route might not be cost effective. It might be better to just buy another planer.
Before trashing or parting out a Skil 100 with a spun out housing, you might want to try one of many Loctite products out there. The Loctite 660 can fill gaps up to .50 mm. The Loctite 638 can fill gaps up to .25 mm. I imagine that most spun out sleeves/bores are no more than .25 mm.
I think the products I mentioned can be purchased for approximately $15. Might be worth a try if you ever find yourself in this predicament.
