I have a new Jet mill with power feed. I tried it today for the first
time and had a question. When I engage the feed the unit makes a
popping sound. It is the same in either direction and the powerfeed
works fine. Is this just the clutch engaging or is something wrong with
the unit? Do all power feed such as Servo make this sound? Thanks, Steve
It's the clutch. All the Servo type power feeds I've seen make this
sound.
