We are currently investigating having the spindle rebuilt. I took this video for the guys who might be fixing us up.
Nothing like standing next to a machine and getting blasted by 92-95dB.
Nothing to be super concerned about, everything still works well enough to keep going as-is, but it’s definitely a source of surface defects and likely the remainder of the vibe I see in the stuff I make. Should be a jump in quality, getting this fixed.
