I have encountered a problem while rebuilding the "layshaft" (intermediate pulley between the motor and spindle) on my Deckel GK-12 3D pantograph engraver. It has S/N 4500-1958. A photo is shown in GK-12-Layshaft-Photo-2.jpg It has 3 grooves and looks more or less like the one shown on this manual pag: GK-12-Layshaft-3-Gruv.jpg Other GK-12 manuals show a 4-groove version: GK-12-Layshaft-4-Gruv.jpg Here is a cutaway of the 4-groove version: GK-12-Layshaft-4-Gruv-X-Section.jpg Note the snap-ring at position "A". On my 3-groove, the snap-ring is at position "B". This does not seem right because there is no spacer between the outer races of the two bearings, so tightening the nut at the bottom crowds the two races together. If you just try to snug it with- out crowding the bearings, there is nothing to keep the nut from unscrewing, and it doesn't take much to do that. Does anyone have a cross-section of the 3-groove layshaft? Wrench, does your CD have this version? It seems like there either needs to be a spacer between the outer races, or better yet, the snap ring groove should be relocated to "A" so the lower bearing is clamped and the upper bearing can float. (I think the bearings are close enough together that it will be OK if the upper bearing does not float, provided the inner race and outer race spa- cers are the same length.) The inner races are both a snug press fit and are clamped with a spacer between them, so they are not going anywhere.
