Alan, not to rain on your parade but sometimes noise is induced by side
loads on bearings. I might try to think of a way for the motor to drive
the spindle directly. Handholding the motor should do the job as well as
letting you feel what is going on. Just a quick unloaded spin up might
be informative! Bill in Boulder
