Lathe chatters and I can't get rid of it
I can't part anything on my Lathemaster now. It seems like the entire
lathe is made of taffy. Will not cut until it jams. Can't measure any movement so far. Carbide or HSS, no difference. I have to strip it down and reassemble it. All gibs are tight. Spindle bearing preload is tight. The 2 headstock bolts I can see I've torqued. The only possible thing left are the other 2 headstock bolts I can't see, but assume must be there for a total of four bolts. Chuck is tight too. Apron, saddle ditto. This can't be possible can it? Help. Must have working lathe. |
