Re: spindle bearing coming loose

The tool is good in the spindle
It’s the spindle body in the casting because the bearings have loosened because the locking adjusting ring loosens if that makes senses

Re: parting ali help

So with these settings i should be in the ball park?
Regarding the parting tool lifting , does this suggest faulty turret with too much play or to be expected if settings are way out ?

Re: New Cyclone - need phase converter advice.

So it would be usefull for me to know what the rpm range and pulley ratio were on the original 2.2kw machine Mine is 2.2kw and the spindle will go up to 5000rpm (at least, that's what it says, I have no way to measure, but it looks scary fast!). Pulley ratio looks 1:1 Si this is where i need some c...
