I have just picked up a Scheer DB12 dowelling machine. It has 3 spindles, one of which has a bit of play and is throwing out the alignment by about .25mm. Has anyone got any experience with stripping it down and having a look what is happening with the spindle? I can't find any information online for it or something similar.

Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

0.25mm is a lot for a worn bearing. I wonder if it is not a seized bearing that is rotating in its housing. Sorry no experience of this machine but almost certainly made to be serviceable so there “will be a way”
Good luck

What do you intend using the Doweling machine for? Any pictures?
I've managed to figure out how to take it apart and have changed the suspect bearings. The manufacturer was really helpful and sent me loads of drawings and instructions how to take it apart.
Next job is to check the head is level to the bed. I didn't take any photos of the repair, it's been sat on the side of the bench waiting while the bits turned up.
It's got 3 drill heads at 22mm centres so it's ideal for getting into narrow stiles without hitting rebates/grooves. I can drop the middle bit out and get a 44 spacing. I've been offered a 36/36/36 head for it as well.
Came with a selection of bits from 8-16mm, pneumatic clamp and drill action. I've got a door job that I'm doing at the moment and it seemed like a good buy. All the doors over here in Germany are dowelled together.My tenoner is sat in the barn with a defunct motor and needs a bit of a general overhaul.
