    Partner 5 noisy spindle, only CW

    Seems its been gradually getting noisier, but not really noticed as the spindle is typically just running CW. Tapping yesterday, found its a lot quieter when running CCW. Im guessing spindle bearings? Anyone had any experience changing those out? Source on where to pick them up?

    Put a new belt on it first. When I first resurrected my machine I thought a new set of bearings were going to be required as it had a lot of weird noises and ticking. Put a new drive belt on and no more noises. It might save you a lot of work and expense.
