Spindle Thrust Bearing "Steel Cage" ABEC-5
5080-388-ND equivalent part # 13-79
  • Made in the USA
  • Steel Ball Retainer
  • Manufactured to ABEC-5 Specifications
  • Replaces old style Plastic Retainer
At National, we design our thrust bearing with a steel cage at the urging of customers and the advise of bearing engineers! The engineers said that if a plastic or phenolic cage were in a "clean" environment that would be "fine" but "in a contaminated are, exposed to chips and dirt, the steel cage would stand up much better".

We made the bearing to ABEC-5 standards. This is two grades higher than the Davenport bearing and should result in better finishes and the ability to hold more accurate lengths on your parts! Click here for more information on the Spindle Thrust Bearing.

Coaxial Adjusting Tool for Davenports
CTSW-1

Instructions for Using National Distribution's CTSW-1 Coaxial Adjusting Tool For Adjusting Lower Thrust Ring Tension Screws

  1. Slide the stock reel back

  2. With the machine out of stock, jog it into a position which will allow line of site access to the lower thrust ring adjusting screw and nut.

  3. Engage the 1/4" set screw with the inner socket of the tool.

  4. Slide the outer 7/16" socket over the lock nut.

  5. Using a 5/8" open and wrench, turn the hex nut near the handle the tool counterclockwise. This releases the tension on the 1/4" set screw.

  6. With the 1/4" set screw loose, turn the handle clockwise which turns the 1/4" square socket. It is important to turn the handle until only a SLIGHTLY RESISTANCE is felt!

  7. While holding the tool handle, use the 5/8" open and wrench again near the handle to retighten the 7/16" lock nut.
