Good evening, I have previously posted about the complete restoration I did on my model 820 with turret tailstock. I now make tools with this lathe basically it runs about 2-4 hours each night, and tonight while I was indicating a part in, I heard squeaking, like that of 2 pcs of metal rubbing in a bad way.
Upon further investigation, I found the locking collar, listed as a take up nut, that holds the main bearing in place, loose.... I had previously tightened it to what I thought was enough, but clearly it was not.
Any advice on how tight this is supposed to be?
I am going to tighten it again, as I do not have the luxury of taking a day off from making these tools.
I appreciate any and all advice.
Thanks
Richard
