I am having a problem with heat (and noise) in the head stock of my Jet 1014 lathe. I figure heat is from friction. Only place there is friction is in moving parts. Moving parts in the head stock equals bearings and shaft. OK, most likely problem = bearings. Buy new bearings and replace old ones. I'm thinking YEAH, it will now be quite like my son's (Timebandit), NOT!!! It is still making the same ticking noise and heats up in just a couple minutes to where you better not leave your finger in the MT hole very long while cleaning it out or you will get burnt. And this is with nothing on the lathe with no pressure against the head stock. Remove the belt and the motor is quite and smooth running. All set screws on the motor and head stock shaft are tight. Sheaves are lined up straight.
Any ideas, suggestions or donation of brand new high dollar fancy smancy lathe would be greatly appreciated and most helpful.:wink:
Thanks for such a great place to come to and see great ideas and get help.
