In a lathe, an SWT electric spindle can be compared to the heart of the machine, and it performs a tremendous function. Think of a merry-go-round that goes very fast—that’s your spindle. If we shape with a chuck, it spins quickly and holds the material we are shaping. No spindle, and the lathe couldn’t do it’s job properly. The spindle helps rotate the material uniformly so that it can be sliced and fashioned into all manner of different forms. The spindle sort of magically makes everything work together.

Dust if allowed to build up can cause poor spindle performance. You can even add some oil to help it run. How oil works for a bike chain oil also works for make the spindle works for a better. A happy spindle makes a happy woodworking, and we want things to run smoothly.
