PM1130VF

[sportfan]

Lathe and mill were delivered today. Got the lathe set up and cleaned. A few minor issues. No hardware to assemble the stand and the mount for the DRO is broken. I have hardware so that’s really a non issue. The DRO mount is a POS. I can make a new one.

The big issue is that the lathe trips the breaker. If you watch this PM YouTube video: Power up , I’m good until I hit that last button to get the chuck moving.

I’ll play with it a little tomorrow and see if I can figure this out. Gonna install a NON- GFCI breaker and outlet. Chuck turns freely by hand.

As far as the new mill goes, 932M, it’s still on the pallet. I’ll get to that one once the lathe is up and running.

The PM1130 I got tripped the breaker also on a GFCI . The cord was long enough to reach another GFCI and it starts fine on that one. I guess I'll replace the other someday soon. It was new and I ran that circuit special for the lathe. It is the only thing on the circuit.
