terrible grinding sound

[suicideneil]

I had to download the video with youtube downloader to get it to play, but it did eventually work; dear God, what a racket!

The mesh looks pretty much fine, tiny bit looser than I run mine but perfectly acceptable, and its not skipping teeth or binding up at all either. Its just oddly loud and ratchety sounding. I thought it might be the set screw or something clanking against something else as it spins, but I'd think you'd notice that yourself.

Im stumped really, its just really really loud for some reason; only thing I can suggest is to try those other pinions when they arrive, see if they are any quiter, otherwise look into getting a plastic spur gear, that should quiten things down a bit.

Very odd...
