If the Grizzly Lathe motor won't start, first check the power line for proper voltage. Then, inspect all lead connections on the motor for loose or open connections. Finally, the start capacitor might be faulty and need replacement.
Why does my Grizzly Lathe motor overheat?
If your Grizzly Lathe motor overheats, it could be overloaded, so reduce the load. Another cause might be restricted air circulation; clean the motor to allow normal airflow.
What to do if workpiece vibrates on Grizzly Lathe?
If the workpiece vibrates or chatters during Grizzly Lathe operation, ensure the table locks and spindle lock are tight. Also, verify the workpiece is securely clamped to the table or in the mill vice. Lastly, the RPM and feed rate might be too high; use appropriate settings for the job.
