9" motor Mount and fly wheel shaking
So I finally figured out what was making my lathe shake. I took my motor and mounted it on the wall apart from the table to isolate it..Then ran it without the belt tight to the head stock and sure enough its the motor mount and fly wheel assembly. Anyone ever hear of this happening. There is zero slop on the shaft. Its tight and spins fine. Maybe the cast was bad and casted uneven?? Im thinking going to a tire place and getting tire balance weights.. Any suggestions or experience with this happening? Or should I just buy a new mount??
