PaulR:
What a nightmare, it must be awfully frustrating. I have a few different hobbies and when things go pear-shaped with one I completely forget about it for a short while and concentrate on the others. When I come back to it later it never seems quite so bad as it did. Hope things come right for you shortly.
Kim:
Wow! That is QUITE the tale of woe and misery! :(
I'm sorry that you're having so many difficulties all in a row. It would be nice to have a success here and there to provide some hope.
Stick with it, and I'm certain you'll figure it out. Get the machine running and you can start to make progress again.
I'm dealing with an inoperative lathe at the moment to. Hopefully, the part I need will come in today and all will work again.
Best of luck to you, Bob!
Kim

The parts are bad enough (or at least very annoying) - but having Tool problems is depressing :wallbang:
If you have access to an Insulation Meter - please measure that the Motor has high enough Resistance between the Wiring and the Case @ the correct Voltage (more than 500V and >50 Mega-Ohms) - as bad insulation can dammage the Electronics .... Not saying this is the case here ....
It can be used to test the rest of the Wiring - BUT please do NOT have the Electronics connected while measuring.
I hope that you have a simple, cheap and easy fix for the rest of the problem.
Best wishes
Per :cheers:

Thanks Per, Kim and Paul. Thanks to my brilliant son-in-law the lathe problems have been solved. The most likely candidate for the final problem is a sub-standard fuse holder. Tried another from the same batch and the machine is working fine now. Not that I am accusing the well known online retailer from selling poor quality stuff, heaven forbid!
