I am resurrecting this, has the machine an Axminster AW1416VS bought Feb 2013 now has a vibration in all speeds, which is worse in reverse, without any attachments. I have contacted Axminster and they will collect and inspect for £30 plus parts and I suppose re delivery. Does any one have knowledge of changing the bearings on these machines, or perhaps pointing me in the right direction. If it has to go back then so be it, it will still be cheaper than constantly ruining turnings, but if it is a relatively easy job, I will tackle it myself.

Thanks in advance.
