It also has the inhibit function so when complete, it'll be able to set a speed and then turn the spindle on and off independently, same as yours. <br /><br />BTW, similar to you, I picked up the board from ebay for better than half price.dbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074118226632215391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065110356280495390.post-23464406089767286742019-02-05T09:12:12.760-08:002019-02-05T09:12:12.760-08:00I wouldn't say that's a matter of the moto...I wouldn't say that's a matter of the motor/control, rather a matter of the lathe not being rigid enough to cut hardened steel very well.Zoltanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688633386727439885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065110356280495390.post-5313583925568047472019-02-03T08:28:49.503-08:002019-02-03T08:28:49.503-08:00I was curious on something.

I see a lot of people say you can't turn tool steel with these little lathes. <br /><br />Is the motor controller a viable option to help low rpm torque with the factory motors? Or is this taken care of now in the new machines that are being sold.

Sometimes when I try to open the box it will change itself. Very erratic. Do you have any suggestions for me to look at? Do need more information?
