If your Wen Lathe motor won't start, first check the power cord, extension cord, power plug, and the power outlet to ensure they are properly connected and undamaged. Do not use the tool if any cord is damaged. If the issue persists, worn motor carbon brushes might be the cause. Have the carbon brushes checked and replaced by an experienced technician.
Why does my Wen 34034 Lathe motor or spindle stall?
Your Wen Lathe motor or spindle might stall due to several reasons. It could be due to an excessive cut, in which case you should reduce the depth of the cut. Another reason might be a worn, damaged, or improperly adjusted drive belt, which would require you to adjust or replace the drive belt (Part No. 34034-205). Finally, a worn spindle bearing could also cause this issue, requiring a replacement of the spindle bearing.
How to fix excessive vibration in my Wen 34034?
Excessive vibration in your Wen Lathe can stem from a few issues. First, check the workpiece for warps, out-of-roundness, major flaws, or improper preparation; correct the problem by planing or sawing the workpiece, or discard it and restart. Also, ensure the lathe is mounted on a stable, flat surface. Other potential causes include a worn spindle bearing (replace the spindle bearings) or a worn drive belt (replace the drive belt, Part No. 34034-205).
What to do if Wen 34034 Lathe tools tend to grab or dig in?
If your Wen Lathe tools tend to grab or dig in, there are several things to consider: * Ensure you are using sharp tools; dull tools can cause grabbing. * Check the tool rest position; if it's too low, reposition the tool rest height. * Make sure the tool rest isn't too far from the workpiece; reposition the tool rest closer. * Verify you're using the correct tool for the operation.
Why does the tailstock on my Wen 34034 Lathe move when locked and pressure is applied?
If the tailstock on your Wen Lathe moves when locked and pressure is applied, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The lock nut (34034-052) may need adjusting, so try tightening the cam lock nut. Alternatively, the lathe bed and tailstock mating surfaces might be greasy or oily; in this case, remove the tailstock, clean the surfaces with a cleaner, and apply a light coat of oil to the lathe bed surface.
