  If there's a loud, repetitive noise coming from your Grizzly Lathe, inspect the pulley set screws or keys; replace or tighten them if necessary. The motor fan might be hitting the cover; adjust the cover, tighten the fan, or shim the cover. Defective V-belts could also be the problem; replace them if needed.
