I have a South Bend 11 with what appears to be the original 1/2hp Westinghouse motor wired for 220v. I was taking a cut and it seemed to stall the spindle rather easily so I looked into the flat belt to see if it was slipping and it wasn't so I checked the V belt too and it wasn't slipping either. The electric motor is actually stopping. I pulled the motor and checked the brushes and everything seem fine, oiled it up and rotated by hand and there's no binding so I threw it back in and no change.
I'm no lathe expert but I don't think I should be able to stop the motor by grabbing the lathe chuck by hand. Am I wrong?
This lathe is new to me so not enough experience to see it go from bad to worse.
