The 1 HP motor on my Grizzly 13X 40 lathe whines when running. The noise is not unbearable but I would sure like it a bit quieter Does anyone out there have a similar situation ?
The lathe is mounted on a sturdy wooden bench and leveled as best I could get it. The run-out over 16 inches is less than 0.001 if i recall properly. The sound has been isolated to the motor by disenging the lesd screws and back gears. I would sure appreciate suggestions on how to reduce the whine.
Thanks
