RussellT:
I'm surprised that you could measure the voltage if it's static build up, static is normally very high voltages but tiny charge or current. I think the danger from static is normally sparks in flammable environments.
I wonder if your speed controller negative is drifting away from neutral?
Be careful :zap:

I am not 100% certain but as the only connections are going to the motor and I have tested that there is nothing connected to the body in any way its the only thing that made any sense to me. If there was a fault in the controller the power should still not get to the body I think but it wont hurt to earth it either way.

My understanding (maybe faulty, itself!) -- these solid state DC power supplies can (if faulty) pass through line voltage, unlike the old transformer/bridge rectifier/capacitor DC types which isolated the output.

This is the next bit which apart from holding lathe tools etc will hopefully help me make the accurate 40 degree taper in the end of the spindle.

Its a bit difficult getting a decent picture but that seems ok. I guess the next thing is to make an arbor and make sure, if its not far away I can lap it I think.
