Greetings 2 all!
Bought a used chinese lathe that has history of smoking motors.
I am seeking alternate input as to a different motor to put on this lathe...... Unit has had 2 harbor freight motors, both burnt capacitors and or windings. I have looked at putting an american made instant reversing motor with a drum switch on the lathe, cost for baldor 3 hp plus switch is about $600 bux.
Wiring diagram for the dern lathe is a mess!
It costs approximately $400 bux to replace both
the chinese motor and control box........which I am reluctant to do,want to upgrade from a 2hp to a 3hp motor, (230 volt single phase)
ANYBODY??? Have any good input as to other decent possibilities for this near new lathe???
I'd be glad for any good ideas. Oh yeah I already
got the input about using the lathe to anchor my boat! LOL! Thanxx!!
