Title: Graduate Lathe Repairs
Post by: Terry on August 07, 2018, 04:41:07 PM

Hi,

After 23 years of regular use my Graduate Lathe is making some strange noises which could well be bearing problems, but I’m not sure. It’s a 1995 model from The Graduate Lathe Company GL30.

Does anyone know who can repair it for me? I live near Lincoln .

Hi Terry,

   It's easy enough to replace the bearings yourself, there is nothing special about them and you should be able to get a set from your local bearing supply shop. I have a copy of the Graduate Manual if you want a copy, the instructions are in it. - Julian
