I recently bought a 4003G and have had nothing but problems with the motor. Originally the motor began "squeeling" with only a few hours of use. Grizzly took the motor in, fixed a bearing, and returned it it within about a week or two.(good service and that was appreciated) Since I got the motor back I machined one barrel and I just got half way into a muzzle break job and the lathe won't start up. When I move the lever the motor just humms and nothing will turn. I can turn the belts by hand (nothing seized) but the motor will not turn the gears. I can't believe it. Not only is my lathe out of commission again but so is the rifle I was was working on. I am spending more time working on the lathe than on projects. Since I can't contact Grizzly till Monday, does anyone know anything I can check for this problem or does it sound like the motor is just toast???
