My X2 spindle gets hot, almost too hot to hold, after a brief running time. The machine has a few years on it, and I've never opened the spindle box, nor adjusted anything. Am running an LMS belt drive though.
I can't sense any roughness or looseness in the bearings. Belt side load doesn't seem excessive.
Any magic in the spindle nut tightness? Back it off a hair?
Or time for new bearings?
