There may be a time when your machine will require a Power Tool Ejection system rebuild. We strongly recommend that this not be attempted in-house. We regularly rebuild these systems and follow the outline below.

Spindle and PTE Mechanism

• Dismantle the P.T.E. completely and inspect for defective material.
• Disposition all parts.
• Repair all authorized materials.
• Install and fit new materials as authorized to the spindle.
• Assemble and test the PTE mechanism for correct tool retention and release.
• Calibrate the new PTE setting gauge.
• Prepare and ship.

As part of the rebuild process it is very common for Lucas to suggest that we regrind the spindle taper or install a replaceable taper socket to achieve the necessary bearing contact for proper tool retention. Better tool bearing also creates more stability and accuracy while cutting.
