Hello everyone
Just curious if anyone has encountered this. I have a brand new Shop Fox 1704. I've turned one pen and one small change dish on it. I was in the middle of a project this evening and all of a sudden I heard a grinding/rattling sound coming from drive shaft. At first I thought a bearing had gone south.
I pulled the cover off and discovered that one of the lock nuts from the end of the shaft cad come off and was rattling around inside the plastic cover. I tightened it back on and it seems to be up and going again. Just wondering if this is something that periodically needs to be inspected/tightened.
Thanks!
Michael
