Default Delta lathe problem

Bill said:

It appears to have a runout problem that gets worse with weight on the
spindle. I bought a new Barracuda Chuck and it really wobbles.

Is this a bearing problem? What is this going to cost to fix?


Probably, check the play by moving the shaft side to side and noting
the movement with a dial indicator or whatever. As for the cost, if
you're handy, about $22 for the bearings, which are generic. Look for
the number on the dust shield. From Delta they will probably be more
expensive. Bearings are available from sources such as MSC, Grainger,
you local automotive bearing dealer.

FWIW
