This image shows a live-tool spindle assembly. The nameplate is present but illegible in the photo. Ekstrom Carlson is handling this unit and is only performing a repair.

**Detailed Visual Condition**

The spindle housing is cylindrical and metal, with surface scratches and light oxidation. The shaft has splines or grooves and a machined end with a small slot or keyway. A thin seal ring sits at the housing-to-shaft junction. The nameplate area has stamped or engraved text, but the characters are worn and unreadable in the photograph.

**Likely Faults to Inspect**

We would check bearings, seals, and the shaft for runout. Electrical connections and wiring (if present) should be tested. Wear on splines and the mating surfaces also deserves close inspection.

**Why Ekstrom Carlson?**

Ekstrom Carlson specializes in spindle and live tool repair. We also make motors, custom tools, and carbide router bits. For this unit, our role is focused on diagnosis and repair only. We will not alter original serial data or claim the original manufacturer.

**Repair Benefits vs Replace**

Repair often saves time and cost compared with buying a new spindle. Skilled rebearing and balancing restore performance. Replacing seals and machining worn areas extends service life.

**Next Steps & Contact**

If you want an estimate, send the spindle to Ekstrom Carlson with any supporting documents. We will inspect, provide a written repair scope, and return the unit after repair. Mention this photo and we will match notes to the incoming part.
