wow thats quite the adventure but you got it. After asking upside down then I though the spindle will turn. See you solved that as well, nice idea. I have the same machine. Needed bearings when I got it but needing bearings is not instantly often and it works excellent as it is.

Nice work, Tom!
I think Jerry is right, the thread pitch is likely finer than a normal coarse or fine hex nut.
Bumbling forward into the unknown.

Glad to see you got the nut off, and the spindle cartridge out.
Picture of the nut is a little blurry, is that a nyloc nut or is there some type of thread retainer?

Jerry, It is a nyloc nut.
For the rest of you SCM shaper owners you may want to check for a grease cup. Fill cup with grease and tighten up now and then I guess. Note hole at 12 o clock position.100_2650.jpg Cup is in cabinet to left rear side.
