Why does my Grizzly G0602Z Lathe vibrate so much?

  Patrick DavisAug 16, 2025
  Excessive vibration in your Grizzly Lathe can stem from several issues. It could be due to an unbalanced workpiece – try re-installing it as centered as possible with the spindle bore. Another cause might be the workpiece hitting a stationary object, in which case you should immediately stop the lathe and correct the interference. Loose or damaged V-belts, misaligned V-belt pulleys, or an unbalanced/improperly installed chuck or faceplate can also contribute to vibration. Check and adjust the change gears to establish backlash, and inspect for worn or broken gears. Finally, the spindle bearings might be at fault, requiring a reset of the spindle bearing preload or replacement of worn bearings.

What to do if my Grizzly Lathe carriage will not feed or is hard to move?

  If the carriage on your Grizzly Lathe is difficult to move or won't feed, several factors could be responsible. Start by checking if the quick-change gears are fully engaged and adjust the gear dials if necessary. Ensure the half nut lever is disengaged for manual feeding and that the carriage lock bolt is fully released. Also, clear away any chips that have accumulated on the bedways and re-lubricate them. If the gibs are too tight, slightly loosen the gib screws. Lastly, a broken gear or shear pin could be the culprit, requiring replacement.

  A poor surface finish on your Grizzly Lathe can be caused by a few things. First, check if you're using the correct spindle speed and feed rate, and adjust as needed. Dull or poorly selected tooling can also be the culprit, so try sharpening your tooling or choosing a better tool for the job. Ensure that your tool height is aligned with the spindle centerline. Lastly, check for excessive play in the gibs and tighten them if necessary.
