Hello. I went through all 256 posts in troubleshooting to see is anybody had a similar issues that maybe I am having. I had a fellow Shopbotter over today whom is much more familiar with Shopbot then I am. He seemed to think my spindle may be in need of new bearings. He said on other spindles there so quiet that you cant hear it run. My spindle is quite compared to a porter cable, when it running its a loud hummmm. It has always sounded that way. My spindle has very low hours as after 3/4 years now we are just learning how to use the router. Also, when we spin it by hand, if you put your ear up to where the fan is you can hear it a bit. Is this normal? How do I know if there is an issue? If there is, does anybody know a price range to have this fixed... Im not sure where to start here as im not sure there is really anything wrong in the first place!?!?!?
Thanks in advance!
