B0030194-D54E-4B3F-854D-4BC9CF268A64.jpegI am an experienced woodworker but new to turning. I purchased a Delta 46-700 lathe from a woodworker moving out off state last summer and as my shop was under construction I had to store the lathe in a locker until a few weeks ago. I recently tested the lathe and noticed that it seems to run okay at slower speeds but as it speeds up to higher speeds it starts to clatter, possibly metal rubbing. I made a short video to show what I’m experiencing although the high speed sound is somewhat muted on the video. It seems to start clatter about halfway to fast.
Perhaps someone with experience with this model can offer some insight on whether repairs are needed.
Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
