hats off to you for managing it. do you have any pictures of the finished item? |
I actually started the hole in the drill press, as centrally locating it isn't important to the finished hole.
As for pictures, I'm afraid not. It has just this very minute stopped working
No idea why. It has power (green LED is on) but nothing happens. When I put it in an 'at fault' situation (turning main power on when lathe is switched to run) I DO NOT get a fault light.
It has me stumped.
I thought maybe I had burned the motor out, but I can't smell any burning from the motor compartment.
It literally stopped, halfway through a cut. I'm leaving it for a while just in case it was overheating, but I would expect the fault light to come on if it was.
Ho hum, I might soon be in the market for a beefier lathe (every cloud and that
)
