Bearings
Produce a design of the main bearing (spindle 3 bearing). Include in your design the detail of the mounting
structure that connects the whole machine to the base-plate. Two of these structures are required (one at each
end). Describe also the assembly procedure for your design so that the main spindle, main bearings and
mounting structures fit easily together.
Note that the main spindle is fabricated from a 170mm OD, 150mm ID steel tube.
