My variable speed drive, both pullies actually, wobble when they
operate. I shot a video of it at 5 Hz. It appears to be crooked or off
center. Might be some bushing missing or something. It could be that
the wobble in the primary pulley causes wobble in the driven pulley.

Anyone would have any idea?

Not sure, but I'd pull the belt off and see if the bearing/bushing
inside
the pulley has a lot of play due to wear.

Ayup. A very very common issue with Clausings and pretty cheap to
replace.


You guys mean the bushing inside the outer variable pulley on the
motor, right?

I will take the lower VS assembly apart today and will look, as I need
to get a few parts from Clausing anyway.

In which case, as per Gummer's sig, grab yer wallet and yer ass.....

I disagree and find Clausing price on this line of lathes very
reasonable.


Unlike other models. Crom..the motor belt on my Clausing 1500 is $108
plus shipping!

Whenever a Liberal utters the term "Common Sense approach"....grab your
wallet, your ass, and your guns because the sombitch is about to do
something damned nasty to all three of them.
