I was in the middle of light sawing when the machine started making a strange "almost ticking" noise, apparently from the top of the spindle.
The only place I haven't look yet, due to being difficult to access, is the inspection port behind the gearbox. Since all shafts are pressed in, complete disassembly doesn't seem that easy, but if someone had done it please tell because I'm really bugged by this..
- It does it in either L/H speeds, not in in neutral
- I have inspected all I could, including the motor, intermediate, and input shaft gears, which are under the the plate in the video, all are fine.
- I can't feel or hear anything strange, endplay, etc. moving the spindle or the input gear by hand.
- Nothing appears wrong with the quill, noise is the same no matter iis position
