Emco Compact 5 Vibration

[Graham MeekParticipant @grahammeek88282]

A few posts back I did query the Black Ring on the front bearing of the Spindle.

I had assumed this was a felt ring which was being retained by the Washer under the Hex Bolt head.

Was this an attempt by the previous owner to lubricate the bearings?

I did even wonder if the front shield of the bearing had been removed to allow oil to be injected into the bearing?

The presence of sawdust explains what has happened to the bearing. Usually some preventative measures can lead to more rapid wear.
