Hey guys, I've read somewhere that this is likely a bearing issue, but wanted to double check with you guys as to what I should look into first.
I'm seeing some runout on a lathe that repeats every other turn, regardless of whats engaged, in terms of pulleys or gears, I haven't gotten deep with it yet, but it appears to be consistent.
FWIW this is an old taiwanese bench lathe (Jet BD13-25R), of somewhat unknown history.
Does this scream "replace bearings" or is there a pre-load/adjustment/something I should look at first?
Thanks for any help. I've only started turning in the last year or so, and am trying to learn the ropes(read:caveats) before buying a nicer lathe.
