My mother Inlaw brought me a Charnwood lathe for Christmas ex display. I finally got to set it up in my shed yesterday and try it out, made 1 pen then set it up to do another turned it on then pop all the electric went off, put the trip back on tried again and nothing, put a new fuse in the plug did it again. Today I managed to speak to man at the shop he wasn't very helpful just told me to put a bigger fuse in it. I'm no electrician but surely if something has a 5 amp fuse you don't put a 13 amp in.
Happy new year
