Hi all I have a 1018 lathe that has been a real pain. The original lathe was replaced and the latest one has switching problems as well. I purchased this on the advice of a member and it is a piece of overrated crap, it will not run without stop start problems and to get an electrician to have a look at it is almost impossible any suggestions will be accepted gratefully. What is happening is the lathe has surges of power and almost stops I thought it may be the digital speed readout proved to not be the problem. I have replaced the switching on more than three occasions no joy at all. as a foot note this is still under warranty but to speak to the owner doesn't solve the issue just a rant in return. :((:C:?
