David's Mini Lathe......
Stilldrillin:
One of my pals, died last year. He was a member on here. davidcurtiss021.
Poor chap, never properly, got to grips with retirement, or making swarf. Alternately, he was unwell. Or his lathe was.....
This was one of his final problems..... https://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,12166.0.html
The lathe is mine now. It arrived, as a lego set, in several boxes. In serious need of rebuilding.
I started during the summer......
I finished the mechanical work, this weekend.......
Next up. The electricals. Never before, fumbled with Sieg's, mysterious clever stuff.....
Inside the box.......
And, back view of the loose board......
I plugged together, what seemed to fit together.
Not sure which way around the input lead fitted, as both outputs from the emg switch, were black/blue wires.
Switched on. Hoping for a click. Or, a little light...... Nothing! :scratch:
HAH! No fuse, in the plug. :thumbup:
Fitted 3amp fuse. Switched on..... Nothing! :scratch:
Metered the supply, into this gubbins. But, not out of it......
No fuse in there, either...... :thumbup:
Fitted another 3amp fuse. Switched on..... Nothing! :scratch:
Checked the fuses. Both of them had blown. Quietly.... :(
That is the limit of my electrical understanding. It's time now, to hand over to a higher authority.
Hope you guys can sort me out, as you have done several times in the past......

I would love to be able to help Dave, but electrics I am OK with, electronics are way beyond me. :zap:
Sad to hear of your mate dying, but that is one of the things that old age brings with it. I have lost quite a few mates in the last few years. :(
Seeing that you are still posting is great, and I wondered if you would be going to the Midlands show next weekend ??? :beer:
Cheers Derek.
John Rudd:
David,
As usual always glad to help.....
First up, have you got a dvm, know how to use it?
Can you follow a schematic drawing?
Is there an XMT number on the speed control board? ( I think it might be XMT 2335 or summat...)
Joules:
David, you’re not a million miles away from me (Rotherham). I have a fair bit of electrical test equipment if you need help. Available weekends. :dremel: and a very similar Mini lathe here.

Hi Derek.
Thanks for your kind words.
I reckon, you will have met David, back in the Harrogate days.....
I'm afraid, me old feet n legs are not up to show standard anymore.
Only allowing up to an hour at a time. Even if I'm doing something really interesting, in the shop...... :(
