I obtained a 2nd hand WEN lathe a couple years ago and have only turned a few pens and a vase. While turning the vase, as I cleared chips, the back of my hand touched the motor casing which was extremely hot. I measured the temp as variable with the highest spot being nearly 200 degrees. Curious if other WEN owners have encountered this problem and if so, how was the issue resolved?
The air flow appears to be good and the motor runs fine.
