If the temperature at the spindle flange, upper bearing, or lower
bearing exceeds 55º C (130º F) at any time during the spindle run-
in, stop the spindle immediately.
Allow the spindle to cool to room temperature before restarting the
spindle run-in process at the speed last achieved prior to the
temperature spike.
