If you're a dyi guy, I suppose you could try to locate the component and replace it yourself. I second this, Call Powermatic, their people are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I called them a few times in reference to several pieces of equipment I service at a shop I run and they have always come through for me. Paul RE: Powermatic 3520 - high pitch noise - Grey Mountain - 11-03-2019 With bi-lateral high frequency hearing loss and bi-lateral tinnitus, there is no way I could hear such a noise. Got new hearing aids some time back, got in my old van and heard noises I had never heard before. Thought my van was falling apart. I was right. GM RE: Powermatic 3520 - high pitch noise - EightFingers - 11-03-2019 Might be a cooling fan for the electronics.

My first instinct isn't elecrical, but a mechanical cause. Maybe a bearing.. Can you experiment and loosen the shaft. Good Luck... RE: Powermatic 3520 - high pitch noise - Phil Thien - 12-05-2019 I suspect there is an electrical component (a coil/transformer) somewhere “singing” (that is the actual term). Probably a design issue. Not likely a problem. Perhaps fixed on later versions. RE: Powermatic 3520 - high pitch noise - Arlin Eastman - 12-07-2019 I have had that problem today and thought it was coming from the head stock while I was turning, however, it was an old live center with the bearings needing grease or lubing. |
