Live tool / spindle repair by Ekstrom Carlson. We are only repairing the item. The photo does not show a readable maker label or part number.
**What the image shows**
The main item is a right-angle live tool or spindle head. The rectangular gearbox has a dark finish and a central threaded output. A short cylindrical shaft rises from the gearbox and ends in a small spur gear. Multiple socket screws form a tight bolt pattern around the output boss.
**Key features visible**
You can see the threaded output clearly. The spur gear and shaft look serviceable but may need inspection. The bolt pattern suggests modular mounting. The compact design is typical for lathe live tools and spindle attachments.
**Condition clues and likely service needs**
Surface wear and minor grime are visible on the housing. The shaft and gear show signs of prior use. These clues point to likely bearing inspection, gear mesh check, and seal replacement during a rebuild.
