Anybody know what might be the cause of a creeking, thumping, croaking sound in dead grooves on a Scully? My lead ins and closeouts sound like 'The Grudge'. I'm guessing it's a bad bearing at the bottom of the turntable/flywheel shaft?? I don't think there's anything wrong with the cutter saddle or lift/drop assembly...

Bearing. Didn't really want to tear the "bathtub" apart but the lower TT bearing was almost ground up.

it is an axial bearing? test to rectify the seats of the balls and changes the balls by new ones.

In my lathe I had to do that, and to rectify the central axis with a new bronze socket, now is very quiet

it disassembles the bearing and it goes to a distributor of bearings, or repair of cars....ask by the solution

luck!
