Thanks Alex, I'll check that. When I was diagnosing the clicking sound, I determined that it was related to the speed of the motor rather than the...

Thanks guys! I still think the G0766 is a real bargain for a large quality lathe. Mine has pretty much been flawless, but having prior experience...

Brice, I think your clicking sound is probably the spacer that Roger was talking about. The nut pushes against the pulley and sandwiches the spacer...

I've had a few mystery noises. 1. The belt sometimes makes a slight squeek at low rpms and when ramping down. I've checked alignment (position of...

Roger the lathe whisper

good news. You'll get there, so keep at it with the magnet thing, and just make sure you get the polarity correct.

So the nut felt tight but I removed it and the spindle pulley to get a better look. The first thing I noticed is that the bearing isn't the one...

The pulley and the spacer are designed to mate together, and just the slightest bit of play or getting loose will produce a ticking sound. No longer...

I didn't check the nut to see if it was loose, I will do so. I did check all the set screws when I was setting it up. When it arrived the 4 screws...

I could be wrong on this, Alex, but my educated guess is that it is not the bearing at all! Check these first. There is a spacer against the...

It seams that I didn't realize that post could only be 1000 letters long so it didn't post. Here's the second half. I haven't looked at other top...

Cool deal, Harold! Glad you got it working again!

I just had to adjust the sensor; it must have moved when I installed the bearings. Thanks for the replies. Rick

Roger, thanks for the link, I'll check for the magnets today. Rick

I think the gap between the pick up and the magnets is .053 inchs there was a post a couple years ago that covered that measurement and the issue...

Harold here is a link with some help about the magnets on the spindle rpm: https://sawmillcreek.org/group.php?discussionid=1830&do=discuss

You might not have the sensor correctly positioned. The rpm sensor is held in place with a nut, and the gap between the sensor and the magnets...

For those still waiting on a back-ordered machine from Grizzly, you might be in luck. See this update yesterday from Shiraz Balolia in another TBN...

Yeah. Cancelled my order for a G0766 also. Went with the Laguna 1836 which is just a couple hundred more now with the tariff, and also a more refined...

I feel your pain. In January I ordered the 766 and waited 2 months with a little drama at the end. In April I ordered a DC from Grizzly and was...

This tarriff thing may take a while to sort itself out. Basically a game of chicken, to see which side blinks first! Sorry you’re caught in the...

Welcome aboard the GGMG, Rick! Glad you’re enjoying the G0766...I have one in my shop and it’s been great for 3 years, with no problems. I also...

Hello from South Carolina. I'm Harold Miller, but go by "Rick". I've had my G0766 for a year and I love it. I got it to supplement my Jet midi. I...

Thanks Brice. That's a great idea to mount an electrical box on the legs - I will do that. Jeff

Jeff, I put a platform from one leg to the other and built drawers in the middle and have sand containers at each end. I used some of the holes to...
