I have only been turning for about two months now but I've noticed a problem with my Delta midi lathe. When I run my lathe at slow speeds (5-800 rpm) for applying finish, I notice that the Wheel on the head stock seems to wobble a bit. There's no real noticable wobble/out of round on the mandrel, but I suspect that the bearings may be bad on the head stock. At much higher speeds, the wobble is less noticable.
Can any of you more experienced turners share your knowledge on this subject and if it is the bearings, how difficult a job is it to replace them?
Thank you for your help with this.
