Hi all, I have just jointed but have been looking on this site a lot.
Anyways I just brought a mini lathe Model: CJ0618 Benchtop 300mm Mini Metal Lathe. Plus I got some xtra parts with it.
The shop was using it as a display model till they removed the main electrics board to fix a customers lathe. But they reordered a new one for this one and never wired it up or put the lathe back together.
They gave me a printout of a wiring diagram. Not that I know what hardly anything on it is. My problem is what wires go where?
Start off with mains power. I know this 1 goes together like this.
And the green wire goes to here from the power cable. The wire on the left goes to the side of the moter.
This wire is from the motor and the only place I can see it goes is here.
This is whats in the front electric part. Fuse is missing and stop button.
Close up of board.
The red lines are where there is pins for plugs to go onto.
Then I seen something strange. The switch in the box has a black wire off this leg on the switch. But the 2 other units that I got xtra have a red on them.
Any help would be nice as im lost.
I think i got a good deal. Normal cost over here for the lathe is $1050 to $1500. I got it all for $460. Will be a learning thing as never used a lathe before. Brought it to make bushes and spacers and threaded inserts on it for my offroader.
