I just added the Steele belt drive and love not hearing those stinkin gears !
I did as the instructions stated and snugged the spindle jam nut then backed it off and made sure the spindle rotated freely, which it seemed to do. I just ran a program for about twenty minutes and the spindle was hot and the head was warm too.
I let it cool and then loosened the jam nut then only finger tightened it and ran it about 10 minutes and it was heating up again. I never had this before this belt kit was added. I am running it highest speed as I'm using a .125" EM.
The spindle spins fairly freely, no noticeable binding or anything. What could be causing this ? Suggestions/ideas please.
Thank you,
Steve
