Re: Slow to gain speed
OH boy! Now I'm nervous.
Thanks for the warning. I guess I never took it that far apart before.

Beware that spring!!!!!
Research the removal(and reassembly) method before attempting.
his may help ya with the spring removal/reinstall.
Ya might need this also. [/b][/color]

Re: Slow to gain speed
If I'm going to go through all this would you suggest I replace the spring as well? Or will just cleaning everything up be sufficient?

If it ain't broke, don't replace it.

My hero! Not that I don't mind buying a new tool now and again but a spring...
Re: Slow to gain speed
I was going to say the problem seems to be in the moveable sheave on the motor shaft. JPG beat me to it.
The best way I have found to truly lube this - is to put the machine in drill press position. Secure the belt cover up to the top with a string or clamp. Pull out the moveable sheave by hand - DON'T LET IT SLAM BACK INTO CLOSED POSITION. Slide the sheave back and forth several times oiling the shaft as you do. You will probably find the sheave moving easier as oil penetrates.
This may be easier for you in standard sawing position. but the vertical position will allow oil to run into the small space between the motor shaft and the sheave tube.
A few drops in the oil hole are just not enough.

Put the speed control to FAST gives the best results and in the drill press position. You cannot over oil the headstock.charlese wrote:I was going to say the problem seems to be in the moveable sheave on the motor shaft. JPG beat me to it.
