Thanks everyone for the comments. I appreciate you taking a few minutes to watch the video and I'll forward the links to Andrea so she can see them as well.
As for the noise at the lathe, I'm going to look into it and see what Jet has to say. I was under the impression that it may just be the whine of the VFD but it would seem that ya'll are saying it shouldn't sound like that. Thanks for the heads up.

Ray I love that you threw sap and water all over the camera. I thought I needed to get my safety glasses out! Great Job!
Cool! Great job, great bowl! I agree-chips down the pants... happens everyday, right?!
Ray that was an interesting piece. Good exposure for you and for the craft of woodturning, well done to you and Andrea.

Ray, nice show, you are a star now! By the way, you did a great job talking through it all on camera, I would have been tongue tied and stammering like a fool! Waiting for the sequel.....Hollow Forms!

WOW Raymond! I was expecting a little 3 to 5 minute blurb. You're a regular Norm Abrams. You did very well with your explanation and your demonstration. there will be more wood turners because of you. I also posted on the Blog. Great Job.
What you listen to is your business....what you hear is ours.
Ray,
I watched the whole show, it was great. I wasnt being sarcastic or anything about your lathe.
It truely does sound like there is somthing Majorly WRONG with it.
You mentioned you just recieved it for Christmas, I was kinda shocked thought it must be years old and the bearings were about to blow out at any second during the show.
Have it serviced or replaced ASAP!
Good luck, Jet lathes are very good I own 3 myself, I actually have a total of 6 lathes at present.
Yours should run Smooth as silk and pretty darned near Silent.
Your under warranty, find out whats wrong, if its major, Insist on another New unit.
Again the show was great you did a great job. I'm envyous(sp)? Would be nice being on TV showing and doing what you love for all to see and enjoy.
Remember, you are NOT your post count.
