I recently bought an el-cheapo 1hp dust collector ($160CDN new!) The thing works great, and the overall finish was pretty good for such a cheap unit.
However, when I shut the motor/impeller off, it spins for a second, then I hear what sounds like a centifugal clutch dropping out. Then, something inside spins down but there is NO lubrication and it screetches like a banshee. Direct metal on metal.
I don't mind taking it apart to fix it. Can anyone point me in the correct place to start looking just based on my description? (I should post an mp3!)
Thanks Rob
