Title: Really Terrible Noise
Post by: Mat on August 29, 2021, 11:39:44 AM
Hello, my new T8 makes a terrible noise every time after about ten minutes of operation. All screws are tight, even with the water tank removed. What could still be the matter?  I am a little at a loss.
Thanks in advance, Mat

Personally I would send that video to Tormek - they will sort you out very quickly I'm sure - either with the cure or a replacement...

Welcome tothe forum, Mat.

Email your video to Tormek support. The noise is probably something minor, which support can help you correct.
If it is more major, support can quickly get Tormek's outstanding warranty service moving for you. Here is the link:

The motor is causing something to resonate. Check that everything on the machine is tight. Put your hand on the motor while it runs and/ or see if it is contacting the frame.

What I noticed about the noise is that when the WM-200 is mounted slightly wrong on the magnet, i get vibrations. sounds similar to your 'terrible noise'. But i am as fresh as a baby in this Tormek world, so it could be something else...
