Resettable overload (fuse) and marring workpieces

[benmychree]

Asian motor manufacturers seem to vastly over rate the horsepower of their motors compared to American or European manufacturers ---

Asian horses are smaller, so it takes two Asian horses to lift the same weight as one American or European horse.

That makes sense!

There should be a current limit adjustment on the board- it may be set too high- maybe check with Pete at www.olduhfguy.com

I'd like too see someone lick both terminals on a car battery without any extensions on the posts!

No problem, one at a time.

Circuit breaker.

There are panel mount that go into same hole the fuse holder did.

But...

Different ones for different uses.

Fast and slow reaction.

If lathe has dc motor with variable speed then motor current can be buffered by control board.

Stick with 4 amp for now.

If you have an amp meter you can measure actual current to see.

Motor may be 1/2 hp but controller may only be 3/8 thus smaller fuse.

If the fuse is only blowing with you seize the tool in the workpiece, the fuse is probably sized correctly. I agree with staying with the fuse rating the board came with.
