Hello Michael
Welcome to the group. and Congratulations on the 1200 buy.
I own an Older model 1000 but the systems are although somewhat different, the
basic workings are very much the same.
I would first check for any play or alignment problems, worn bushings, slides
and glides all in contact with the rails. stuff like that. Your vibration could
be just something out of place or worn out? If everything seems to be working
fine, then check the threaded insert that rides on the Y axis. perhaps a piece
of alum. foil or wax paper under the lower plate (split nut assembly.) could
stop the lead screw form moving?
Other than that, a tap and thumb screw mounted onto the plastic bracket that
holds the Acme screw could also be used to stop the handle form moving.( but I
wouldn't do that until all of your other options have been looked at first.
Gota run.
Have a great day.
C.A.G.

Hi All,
I recently picked up a 1200 used. I've seen them for years and finally
bought one. I've upgraded it with a chuck, as well as adding a morse taper
tailstock so I could add a live center. I'm considering adding a drive motor,
and I'd love some advice.
I have a bigger problem at the moment though. When my router is running
there is enough vibration that the handle on the Y axis vibrates until the
heaviest part reaches the lowest point. To improve this, I switched out the
default hand wheel with a better balanced speed handle like you might find on a
bridgeport mill. It helped a little, but not enough. Thus, I'll get the Y in
the right spot, fire things up, and then it (very slowly) moves. Has anybody
else run into this? Any tips?
