Vibration
Moderators: HopefulSSer, admin
I’m not sure without seeing the set up. But the first place I would check is the tail stock and eccentric mount. There have been times when both may become loose over time. The previous owner of my 510 tightened the eccentric mount so hard that there is an indention from the set screw. My eccentric mount loosens causing vibration on my machine because the piece is no longer true. Also lock the quill to make sure there is no in out movement. Start a process of elimination.

Is there unacceptable vibration when you are not turning?

I've started that process I noticed when I tightened work between centers that the tubes move out about 1/16". Is there any way to tighten the tubes in the ends that the tail stock is? There are set screws on the other end.

What tubes are moving 1/16"??? If it is the Way tubes, they do have set screws, but they are neither easy to see or tighten.

Ignore the blue 'blob'. Bench tube lower right, way tube upper left(raised to vertical drill press position).

If your upload flat out fails, it is either that the file size in megabytes is too large (.bmp's, .tif's are notorious for exceeding this requirement), the image is too large in pixel size 800 wide x 600 tall max allowed (uploading a photo without first resizing it on your computer is a common cause here), or the file type isn't supported (if your image is coming out of a program in it's native file format that isn't on the supported list shown when following beegs post above, in section 2 Uploading from your PC).bvrsbro wrote:The picture is great I will check that out.

Easiest file help I can relay is make sure that the file is a .jpg image not larger than 800 x 600 in size.
