So this may be a repetitive thread but I just got a M300 lathe. I wired up the motor and it seems fine in the lower range gears. However if I put it in the highest Gear (1800) it takes a long time for it to reach the Rpm if it ever does ... Not sure that it actually ever reaches it, it always sounds like it is slowly gaining. And doesn't seem to be going the 1800 either. Is it possible to have a weak motor? It's hooked to 230 3 phase. Thanks
