My lathe has 6 speed settings. 125, 210, 420, 620, 1000, and 2000 RPM. I have never needed to or have ran the Lathe at 2000RPM but I wanted to test out my new tachometer.
When the spindle speeds up it gets to about 1600RPM and sounds like there is some vibration and it will not get up to 2000. If I flip the switch and run the spindle in reverse it gets up to 2000 with no problems and there is no chattering sound... any idea what the issue is?
