Well, I can't say for sure if it was ONE thing, but I have my suspicions on what it was.
What did I do:
One of the rear leveling feet had come partially off the rubber pad, so I fixed that. I doubt that was it.
I adjusted the V belts on the motor a little tighter. Specification says I should...
Get a piece of aluminum 1" bar. You're going to want to put about 75 pounds of force on it about a foot and a half from the end of the spindle. The bearing caps should be tight, not almost tight, but tight.
Using a tenths indicator, push down on the bar, zero the indicator, and the pull up. To...
I am still trying to chase this down. While I had the spindle out, I checked everything as best I could. The front bearing surface has some galling on it, but no more than what was there when I had it all apart 3 years ago. As best as I can measure it, the spindle is straight. When I had it...
I'm going to replace the two thrust bearings on the spindle. They're cheap enough. The front bearing has some galling, but no more than it had when I got it and refurbished it the first time. I'm also going to replace all of the laminated shims and go through the procedure to strip off layers...
You should be able to use it. But like I said, it's going to take some figuring. Those 3 phase fwd/rev switches are not constructed the way you would think that would make any sense. LOL. I searched and searched and never found anything I could use. Had to draw it out myself and figure it out...
That depends on the motor. There should be an indication on the motor plate if it can be reversed. Usually there are a couple of wires that have to be reversed to do that. I managed to get my motor to reverse with a standard fwd/rev switch usually used for 3 phase motors. It was a lot of head...
I'll check that out. Locate Ball Bearings has a JAF brand replacement for $48 each. But I think they might only be shielded and not sealed. Hard to get a direct answer. I think I will order a set of these instead. Thanks!
You certainly can. The previous owner of my 1942 13" SBL did just that and it runs fine. However, I have 4 other machines that are all 3 phase and I am not about to change all those motors. LOL. It was easier for me to just get a rotary and power them all with one.
I've been using this lathe for 3 years with zero problems like this, like I said in the original post. I've cut this exact piece of material for a different project. This exact piece.
