Hi guys,
Thanks for all the feedback.
Yeah the finish really came out funky. Funny thing is, with a smooth running machine, I would be absolutely clueless if someone asked me to make another one like that.
About the wiring : how could it possibily be badly wired ? There is only neutral, phase and ground right ? I don't know what kind of incorrect wiring would produce that issue
I have contacted Matt yesterday and waiting on his reply.
Will keep you posted!
thanks again
Thanks for all the feedback.
I'm going to try that good idea.Might try running the motor (with the belt removed) for about 1/2 hour continuously... then take its temp again. A motor running with NO load, should not heat up at all... that would be a significant clue.
Unfortunately no, there are no small shops around here anymore.Not sure if you have any motor shops in your area... we have them around me and they could tell if I took the motor to them... or you Emailed them the video.
During the ordering process Matt told me 50/60Hz would be fine, and I don't think it would mess up with the motor like that. I'm not an expert though.You probably already thought of this, but aren't yall on 220v 50 Hz? Is it a 60 Hz motor? Don't know if it would make a difference or not, just a thought. The bead looks cool with those lines in it, though!

I also think I hear it operate at the end of the free spinning.Doesn't sound right. I'd say you have a stuck centrifugal switch, but I think I hear it operating when you turn the motor off and it spins down. Have you made sure it's wired correctly?

I completely agree with you. At the second I shut the power off, 90% of the sound and vibrations immediately stop.The hum sounds like an electrical issue... as thought the motor is fighting with itself.
