Yeah, I called them and now we're thinking it might be the spindle shaft. I'm taking it back to them so we'll see. Hope this works :/:

Took it to an industrial supply store that specializes in wood working equipment and is also a JET dealer. They found that the spindle pulley assembly was shot, and they replaced a few of the bearings for good measure. This process took almost 2 months because the spindle pulley was on backorder...

Alright I'll check my screw tightness. I also have a similar problem when using my chuck though. (as a screw chuck and then when I have it mounted in the recess or tenon) I tried a few simple fixes. I lowered my rpms to 650, and raised the tool rest a bit. (read that might help a little) Still...

Alright I was turning the outside of a bowl. It was about 10 inches in diameter. It was mounted to a faceplate. The wood was tulip poplar. I was turning with both a large sorby 1 1/2 inch scraper and a deep fluted bowl gouge. Both tools were giving me the same issue. I'll check the bearings...

haha nice one! yes i am now finding it hard to part with. sorby tools are just so pretty!

Well now it feels like it's hard to part with and like I'd be taking a useless loss if I could utilize it. What kind of spindle projects do you do, nick? So far I've only tackled bowls and platters

It's all yours is you would like it! I can send you some pictures when I get home from work . I was thinking 50 plus shipping.

Hey! Anyone interested in a Sorby 3/4 inch roughing gouge? I don't do spindle work, and thought it was the right tool for the job to rough out my bowl blanks. Have since found that it is not the right tool and it is dangerous. Lots to learn. But not I have this nice tool and no real use for it...
