It would be interesting to know how Dave BC gets on with fixing the old board, if he gets round to it.

good news


its good when a plan comes together  with no release of more magic smoke

Andyf   I bet its the motor not the board

Mentioning magic smoke........

Was doing a bit of roughing this afternoon......




Not very big licks......




5" dia aluminium castings. 10 thou each pass. Approx 200/ 250rpm.......




Had to use a parting tool. All I'd got to pass over the o/d.

Never bogged down/ stalled. Seemed to be machining nicely.......

BUT..... I had that hot paint smell again! Just like a new car exhaust system....... :bang:

The motor was warm, only. Nothing else was hot. Anyone any ideas?

Hi Dave  ,

all being well its just the lacquer on the new motor or the horse power resistor running hot the first time

one thing to look at could be the 1/4" lucar push-on connectors

if the are like the ones on my CL300M lathe  they don't grip very well once you disturb them

I replaced them with new ones make from thicker brass
