Fixing a Leaky RF-45 Mill Head - Grizzly G0519

[henryarnold]

Here's the parts that were removed with the front panel including the depth limit, switches which are no longer used on my mill, the front panel, and the gear selectors.

   
Next I need to remove the two control boxes. These boxes vary quite bit between RF-45 versions. On mine the left box controls speed, direction, and the tachometer. The right box controls the Z axis power feed.

   

After the depth limit is removed, you can release the quill and gently remove it from the housing. Shown are the quill, the clamp, and the spindle cover. I'll show disassembly of the quill later.
