**What this image shows**
This photo highlights a live tool spindle assembly. The vertical cylindrical shaft and the square flange are the main visual clues. You can also see a small riveted nameplate on the front flange. The nameplate is too small to read in this image. Wear and grease near the lower bearing area suggest it was in active service.
**Key visible features**
The unit has a round upper housing that likely contains bearings. It has a four-hole mounting flange for secure installation. The front lower section appears to be the spindle nose or tool-holder interface. Surface scuffs and residual lubricant show normal operational wear.
**Why this matters for machining operations**
Live tool spindles power off-axis cutting on CNC lathes and mills. A damaged spindle or worn bearings cause vibration and poor finish. Timely repair restores accuracy and extends tool life. Proper repair reduces costly downtime in production.
