On a Powermatic 45 lathe, is the indexing head supposed to be loose? This one rattles and clatters contuously.
The variable speed drive seems to be locked in a single speed. The belt is currently resting at the bottom of both sheaves. I know I need to replace the belt because it’s visibly worn. Is this just a belt width issue, a lubrication issue or something else? Any tips on replacing the belt?
