![]() 264 forum posts | Well I absolutely cannot believe it - went to turn down some steel tube and saw a huge amount of deflection in the chuck - and it turns out I hadn't fully tightend down the front bearing cap after replacing the belt (where I removed the spindle). I feel like a right lemon but looks like no harm done. Edited By William Ayerst on 31/05/2021 16:57:38 |
