I bought a princess auto 7" lathe (all I have room for right now) and I have been using the hell out of it. On my last project it was kind of large, I had brought out a 1" plate mostly round and was turning it round on the lathe, a kind of interrupted cut from my eyeballing it with saws and using the lathe to clean it up.
Every so often if I got greedy on a cut the lathe would stall out and a light would come on. No big deal shut it off, let it cool down and go again only now making a non interrupted cut I can't even take a 1 thou cut without it tripping. The fuse doesn't blow and neither does my circuit breaker but that overload trips all the time even when cold.
What did I break?
