Apply some super penetrant to the joint. (Wipe off any visible excess) Get a heat gun and evenly heat the aluminum platter. When the whole platter is warm-to-very-warm, heat the area immediately around the spindle. The aluminum will expand quickly and the platter will be easy to remove.
How do I get the Platter off my SP-15?
Feels like it's welded on. I've never had so much difficulty getting a platter off. Does it even come off? I'm frustrated and could use some assistance here. I've been messing with it quite a bit but I'm getting worried now I might be damaging something. I know the Spindle has a Morse Taper similar to what a lathe or a drill press might have, but it just doesn't seem to want to let go...HELP!!!
