How to fix excessive vibration on Powermatic 3520C Lathe?
- MMelissa RobinsonJul 27, 2025
If your Powermatic Lathe experiences excessive vibration, several factors could be the cause. The workpiece might be warped, out of round, have a major flaw, or was improperly prepared for turning; correct this by planing or sawing the workpiece, or discard it and use a new one. Other potential causes include worn spindle bearings (replace them), a worn drive belt (replace it), a loose motor mount lock handle (tighten it), or the lathe being on an uneven surface (adjust the levelers).
