I just bought a General 25-200 lathe from Redmond machinery in Ga. The fit and finish is excellent and everything works very nicely except the variable speed controller!.....the lathe shuts off after 5-6 mins of run time and the the digital readout says "safe". I have spoken to Mr. Rich Jenkins and they have been very professional. They have sent me two new speed controller units complete, but the problem persists.
Mr. Jenkins has interceded for me with General's service dept in Canada and I am still waiting a response to my problem. It seems that this has happened to quite a few lathes of this model (25-200) and that that they have "completely reworked" the motor drive and controller system according to their Mr. Trevor Fournier, Mgr. of that dept.
If anyone else has bought this model lathe and had this problem you can contact them at trevor.fournier@general.ca
