Hi all,
New member here and with limited machining knowledge. Here to pick your brains.
I've just purchased a Vevor MX-S716G mini lathe and upon setup have found some gremlins. So the lathe needs to have forward or reverse selected before the green power on button will work. Once direction is selected and green power button pressed the brushless 800w motor starts immediately, spinning the chuck at 100+ rpm. The variable speed dial will increase rpm but not bring it to a complete stop/zero rpm. I replaced potentiometer and still the same problem. I have checked the circuit board and there are no adjustable trimmers that can control the speed cut off point. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix or what to check next? Thanks in advance.
