I've been using a 3520B moderately for the last 10 months. Lately there is a continual squeak from the spindle. Is there any fix short of taking things apart?

Squeaky 3520B

Try releasing the belt tension and turn the spindle by hand and see if you still get the noise. Mine is very picky about belt tension too much it clicks too little it squeaks.
I have the 3520A, and experience the same as Mark in terms of squeaking.

My 3520 was squeaking and I put baby powder on the belt and that seemed to eliminate it.😀

Check the alignment of your pulleys. A misaligned pulley will cause the belt to squeak.
Back in the old'in days
We used to use a bar of hand soap on our fan belts, should do the same on this belt if it's not damaged or misaligned.

Thank you all. Squeak is fixed. Now it is just the hum of chips flying off the piece.
