Just so you are aware, that machine features a 750w DC motor..... I'm not tarring all imports with the same brush, but the dc drives are a weak point. Motors tend to overheat and fail taking the speed control board with it.. My SPG lathe ( warco wm290 is similar) came with a 1.5kw dc motor, which I swapped out for a 3 ph motor and vfd....sold the removed parts to cover some of the conversion cost |
