CNC So my mill trashed out a spindle drive. Any suggestions on how to get clocking right again WITHOUT using motion link software?

Question/Discussion Head stock rattle

2 Upvotes

The lathe im working on has developed a horrible rattle when you put the lathe in forward or reverse gear. iv had the gear box fully apart, replaced all bearings, checked all shafts for runout, and the rattleing sound is still there. What am I missing? All the gears look fine to me, no missing teeth, everything looks to line up as it should.
