Its been a very busy season..Still have a bunch more stuff I need to make..Just got a big delivery of kits, etc from Woodturningz..Took this weekend off to get everything done..Got started tonight right after work and after about 30 minutes of turning..the lathe died..
Its not the switch....I have replaced 3 so far on the jet 1014..I got fed up with changing out switches so I just jumpered the wires to an outlet box with a 15 amp light switch..worked great for the last year or so..
A couple of times it did this before,,over heated and shut off..usualy you just let it cool down and its fine..this time it came back on for a few seconds and quit again,,Its completely cool now and still nothing..I have power going from the switch..I blew out the motor with compressed air..cleared all chips and saw dust from around the motor..
I think the motor has a 3 year gaurentee but Im not sure..probably wont be able to find out untill Monday
Has anyboby else had this problem? Any suggestions to try?
How difficult is it to swap out the motor? how long does it usually take to get a replacement?
