I've been using my 12" Logan for a while, mostly at 300 rpm and less. The other day I had need to turn the vs drive up to 1000 rpm. There was some 'grinding' noise coming from the head stock. It was proportional to the speed if that makes sense. It sounded like gears meshing, like what I hear with the motor and phase converter off when I turn it by hand. I've heard that Logan lathes are known to have some noise normally, but this is the first time I've really noticed it when running. Is this something I need to be looking into? Or is this normal?
Also, I cant seem to measure any movement of the spindle when I try to move it with something in the chuck.
