I was milling down some 8/4 white oak this morning and noticed my Grizzly G0490 jointer motor was making a weird sound. It is squealing and sounds like something is rubbing inside it. If you look through the vents, it appears to be running slightly off center or out of balance. I do not know much about electric motors. Does anyone know what could be causing this? The first video is it running and then coasting down to a stop. The second one is me spinning it by hand. It is almost 3 years old, so out of warranty now.
