VM25L R8 mill bad noise on spindle.

[Lee Roberts]

Actually, dont worry about preload at the moment...

Looking at the video again, I Think i can see a belt on the silver pully, if it was me i would remove that black top plate and see whats going on under there, if you can, take the belt off and spin the spindle by hand and check that to see if there is any binding or sounds similar to the noise its making when spinning under power.

Then also check whatever connections are at the other end of the belt, presumably another pully that is connected to the motor shaft, check to see if anything that end is binding or not rotating freely like it should be?

Also, is it correct your not getting spindle speed (rpm) read out on the display as well?
