Hi,
Anyone that has the Hafco WL-46A or the variants out there (https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/W387)
I just picked one up yesterday and it was making disturbing noises today. Pulled the pulley wheel of the headstock and found what might be a spacer? don't know, but it is between the spindle pulley in the headstock and the bearing. See images. The spacer doesn't appear in the schematic...
This spacer appears to be the source of the noise. It is very sloppy on the shaft and seems to be rattling around on the spindle shaft. (its maybe only a millimeter or so bigger than the shaft, but its enough for it to rattle)
My question to other users, does your machine have this piece and if so how tight is it on the shaft, do you have the same experience?
regards
RB
