Got it home and put together:
Came in two boxes. One with the legs and the other with everythng else. Assembly was 8 screws to attach the legs. Took about 10 minutes by myself.
Quickly set it up with a spindle and turned it nice and round. I love the speed control even if the speed range isn't optimal.
decided to try turning a piece of fresh cut Willow on my chuck. Part of the reason I went with this model was the 1x8 TPI which matched my little PSI Tunrcrafter Pro. My chuck went on and had this little cup turning in no time. I stopped the lathe after doing a little sanding to check my progress. Turned it back on and it won't get up to 200 rpms now
The motor is very hot and the lights dim everytime I flip the switch. I'm going to let it cool off and try again later. I will be pissed if the motor is dead inside of 15 minutes of turning. I can turn it by hand without a problem so the bearings seem fine and it doesn't seem to be binding.
Anyone have an experience like this before?
