Hi Bob,
The motor does vibrate with the belt off, so could be a motor bearing issue as well.
Did you build your 3 phase array yourself from separate vfd and motor or is this a dedicated kit?
Hi Jonnyb,
could be that the bearing isnt correctly tightened. Im inclined to take the spindle and bearing out and refit if only to check any wear. It might mean I need a new rear roller bearing as I think it was a tight fit last time.
Hi Robbo
I replaced the bronze bearing about a year or 2 ago and the belt. I havent used it much and it probably needs some levelling bot head to tailstock and across the bed bars. I did run the new bearing in for 1 hour on the lowest speed. There could be a couple of issues; 1) I found out...
Hi
I purchased a used CL2 with a problamatic bearing or mis-alignment issue. I replaced the bronze bearing, back bearing and spindle which I thought made it run quieter and smoother although there was still some noise present.

Hi all
been a while since last posting, I got hold of some vintage chisels and noticed that the edge had a slight curve in the grind from the left to right corner on some firmer chisels. Is this a feature or an anonmally due to poor sharpening technique from the previous owner?

Hi Littleears, aside from getting to the route of your damp problem, I would recommend getting an Ozone generator. There about £30 from ebay or other online reatailers. If the machine is left on for a few hours with the door closed or preferably over night most of the airborn spores will be...
Thanks Fred
Ive been meaning to take the cover off and investigate. However got one seized screw on top. I will have to get out the screw extractors. Hopefully an easy replacement such as an M6 screw.
Meanwhile Im still in the process of fitting a new spindle and sealed bearing on my...
Recently acquired one of these 2nd hand. I fitted a standard fretsaw blad which will fit most hand fretsaws only for the blade to snap without apply a cut. Am I using the right length and style of blade or is there another reason?
I did notice a lot of sideways travel / flex in the blade which...
Take a casting of the glued original in latex and cast one in resin, I think I have seen a few videos on Youtube especially from the restoration scene.
Im not sure about Rabbit control, however if you can get hold of Stoats or Pine Martins they are great predators of Grey Squirrels. Plus the native red squirrels are too fast or can travel out to the lighter branches and escape the Pine Martins and Stoats.
Hi Robbo, my Record Coronet 2 has a 4 ribbed belt. It is possible that this has been modified or later models had 5 ribbed pulleys / belts.
However I did find a pdf manual for my lathe where the owner had written the code number for the hopefully correct specification. See below.
I hope...
I recently bought a replacement spindle and bearing kit which Records tech guy assured me would fit my Blue Coronet2 only to discover that the supplied belt has one more rib than will fit my pulley. It has been suggested elsewhere to trim it to fit. However I would like my lathe to run as...
I am recently acquired a Record Power turbo visor model RPTV100-J minus charger and instruction manual. Sadly I cant get any info from Record as they have mislayed or possibly destroyed any copy of the instructions. I am hoping to get a charger if possible and a manual if anyone can point me...
