I too am a pack rat. I have too much stuff ratted away and don't know where I would look for them.

Since i'm a pack rat, I saved all of the shipping bolts that came with my 733. Used some angle iron to make brackets to support a rail on the back,...

Been a few years…I don’t remember what size bolt I used. I have a lot of spare nuts/bolts/screws in the shop from over the years, so it was likely...

Thanks, Sam Fletcher. I actually looked at the stock faceplate which has 2, so I grabbed one of those for the time being. It's an M6-1 x 10mm dog...

What size bolts for the threaded ones do you remember? Do you think the bar/ 2x4 running behind the lathe would work for a mounting place? My...

I used those holes on my 0766 to rig a wooden shelf unerneath the ways for extra rigidity of the lathe frame, and use it for placing my gouges when...

Yup, the Aurora Lamp does a good job of staying in place.

The holes look suspiciously like the ones on the nova 16x44 lathe...... Can't find anything on that website either.

I'm not sure if my sarcasm meter is twitching or not.... But I did check all of that and like I said after I moved it back into it's original...

Well, I don't know if you can apply logic to this but on the parts diagram the set screw for the motor pulley uses a 3mm wrench. So does the center....

Thanks Mike. I will try that. 

I'm following this interesting thread. One time I found that I had vibration and some noise. I was a little embarrassed when I tracked down the...

The base sticks good? You haven't went down the rabbit hole of their track system? Although with that track system should a person be worried...

I use the Aurora lamp from Woodturners Wonders, with a magnetic base. I place it on the left rear corner of the top of the headstock, to keep the...

1) I've never moved the headstock since I installed other than when I did try moving it earlier. no difference. 2) ^^ 3) ^ It was still tight...

Couple things to check: 1.) Possible debris under the headstock. Clean ways and move the headstock back & forth a few times and clean again. 2.)...

Sam, on my 0766 the key is a tad longer than the keyway, never caused me any vibration. One thing I did when I got my G0766 and my G0800….when...

One thing fixed! Not the vibration though:( I was able to install my Axminster 114 chuck after I dressed the spindle with a file then re-polished...

On my former G0698 18/47 The belt had a little bump of rubber build up on the ribs where they spliced the ends together. Not really noticeable until...

Bearings felt fine, set screws didn't seem to be loose with the little short allen wrenches I used. Better ones coming tomorrow and I ordered a...

Just got off the phone with grizzly tech support and he said the same thing you did. Check all set screws etc. Take the belt loose and see how the...

The set screws are quite easy to get to. Just open the access panel on the front of the headstock. Rotate the spindle by hand to bring the screws...

I doubt it's the belt in this case. Torque up the set screws and let us know how it goes.

I didn't even know to check those. Probably aren't easy to get to are they? At the most there might be a little wear on the edges of the belt. I...

Sam, I would next check the set screws on the spindle and motor pulleys. Each has two set screws: 4 mm for the spindle pulley, 3 mm for the motor...

Wow, from the looks of this Axminster SK114 I must have been seriously overloading that grizzly chuck! I hope the G0766 can spin this thing.
