Because my
home-made lathe was not good enough for larger pieces and harder materials (plastic was OK, but that was about all), last Friday I decided to invest in
"real" machine...
It arrived today, and it is quite a piece of iron.. and actually bigger than I anticipated or hoped for.
Unfortunately, it worked (erratically) only couple of seconds.. and then the motor stopped.
I didn't smell any smoke, but it is likely the faulty control board.
Now I have to through the hassle of servicing or returning the whole thing... which is not easy considering 65kg of weight.
Anyway..
