Mini-Lathe Bearing Puller

[EdK]

So I went to install the bearing closest to the MT3 end of the spindle and the tube supplied with the Micro Mark kit was a real sloppy fit over the spindle. I started to pound on it but didn't like the feel so I aborted. The tube was barely catching the outer perimeter of the inner bearing race. I got on McMasters website and found a piece of tubing that would fit it much better so I added it to my cart. But at $27 it seemed a rather expensive solution. After thinking about it for quite a few milliseconds it finally dawned on me that I could 3D print a guide for the Micro Mark tube to help center it over the bearing. After revision number 2 it was a perfect fit.

Got'r done with the help of a little 3-In-One oil!
