I picked up a Kitamura MyTurn 30.
It runs OK but the spindle seems pretty noisy. This lathe has a High/Low gearbox. It seems noisy to me and is slow to stop. When the spindle decelerates it sounds more like what I would expect.
I took off the back covers of the machine. Everything looked OK except for a "rotary cylinder" F1768 (according to the parts list) that was attached to the back of the spindle. It looks like some sort of oil pump, there are 2 low pressure lines going to it.
I noticed it has a slight wobble to it and when I rev the machine up to around 2,000 rpm it started seeping oil out of the bottom.
Anyone have any idea what this cylinder is?
