Affordable

Arrived about a month ago,I’ve been out of town and busy with work,I pulled it out of the crate yesterday,it was well packaged, I plugged it in and tried the controls , it worked great,very excited to use it, I put in a small piece of aluminum I had 3/4” round, put a tool in and started to turning it, I activated the auto feed,it started working its way down and I saw a flash from the box with the electrical knobs,, I unplugged it ,fuse was blown and I could smell burnt , I removed the box ,there’s only 4 screws holding it on, and noticed some blackened components on the motherboard, I’m sure its toast now, I left a message with the seller,waiting for a response, I think the return date is past by a couple days,but I’m really hoping maybe they could send me another motherboard or something, It’s a large expense, just because I didn’t have a chance to examine it as soon as it arrived, I hope seller won’t leave me screwed out of $700 UPDATE: the seller contacted me they contacted the manufacturer and are going to send me a replacement motherboard, I will update again if this happens, I really hope so UPDATE: I emailed the Seller through Amazon,told them the issue. I just arrived home from another extended work project to find a package from them, It had been delivered by DHL, it was a complete mother board (whatever that thing is). So I am very pleased and impressed with the after care from the seller. Thank you BestEquip👍 UPDATE,the motor started to smoke while working some aluminum,I shut down to let it cool down, When I restarted it,it was making a clunky noise and stopped, I guess it’s toast, I read somewhere that these are only good for about 3 years,it’s only been 2,and sometimes I don’t use it for months, Now I have to spend $150.00 on a new motor, I know it’s Trudeau’s fault,not sure how,but it seems like one of his sneaky tricks 😠

Great bit of kit. Haven’t used a lathe in 50 plus years and have made a couple of bits in the first few days..
