Fish Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I finally received all the bearings and sleeves for my 788 and replaced them all using my drill press. It was pretty easy. Now, I turned it on and it's louder and vibrates more than before. Everything is new, Did I tighten them to tight? not enough? I didn't change anything else and put everything washers and all back where I took it from. It sounds and feels like it's coming form the back but I can't find the exact place. I'm going to take it apart again today and mess with it. Any ideas? Thanks for your help Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry1939 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 My 2 cents worth: My experience is that the sound usually isn't where you "think" it's coming from. The case is hollow and might be fooling you. 1. Would start by disassembling the easiest part first. i.e. Take apart the top rocker arms and check if a sleeve is missing. Take a toothpick and wipe the inside of each bearing and make sure that it has all the (needles)(rollers). When putting it back together, you already found out that there is no side to side clearance and it's difficult to get the sleeves back into place. It helps a lot to use an awl for an alignment tool as soon as you can. After that start it up and run it. 2. If that doesn't cure it, remove the table and repeat for the bottom rockers. 3. If you still haven't found the problem, you will need to split the saw and dig deeper. 4. My Delta is on a home-made wood stand. I took duct tape and taped the bolt "forward" that you use to tilt the table. jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
