lathe runs for about 30 mins then starts to slow down within 30 seconds it stops as though a brake has been put on , leave it for 20 mins then its ok again until the next 30 mins very frustrating


The spindle bearing (tapered bushing) hasn't been properly lubricated / maintained and it is hot seizing.

Single phase or three phase?
