Woodturning: Bearing Replacement & Lathe Maintenance

Recently, it was brought to my attention by a fellow woodturner that it sounded like my bearings were bad. He has the same lathe as mine and had recently replaced his. This was my first time doing this so it was a huge learning experience. While I had the lathe apart, I figured it was time to do some much needed maintenance. I've also included a couple of links to videos made by Mike Waldt. Mike goes into much greater detail. Please go check out his videos to go deeper.
