Anyone have old spindles for machining project?

Hello all,
I am in process of building a jig and need 2 spindles for vertical alignment/movement for use as a cutter holder. I was hoping that there are a few out there that some one would be willing to part with for a small fee (or free even). The spindle itself will be machine off, I would need to have the bushing lands free of wear.
Thanks,
Jon T

What kind of spindles are you looking for? I have a pair of Volare spindles that I could send you for the cost of shipping.

Hello Firstrider & Charlie,
I was hoping to find a pair for $20 & shipping or less. I am wanting to use the king pin portion for the perfectly aligned & bored holes (vertical alignment & movement) while the remainder of the housing will be machined for the cross connectors. I sure appreciate both of your responses and offers. Unfortunately this is a low buck operation, and the Volare spindes aren't a king pin style.
If I am unable to find some, there are always other ways to resolve a problem, just have to figure it out.
Thank you both again!
Jon

Read the "never before heard of problem" post and see if that is what you are looking for.
