Speed Genie

[Woody]

Got me Speed genie set up on me small lathe at last this is the one I sit at when I cant stand for long I had to grind part of of one of the bed cross sections away for the motor to fit it now runs like a dream in fact it is quieter than before and no more moving the belt to change the speed I also found a tin of paint the same green as the lathe to paint the plate I put over the hole were the switches went

You certainly know how to have a good setup Woody and don't just put up with things like I do.

The problem was I have two speed genies and you cant have the socket turned on both machines at the same time It was to much earth leakage apparently

 

[Penpal]

Good to hear the end of the tripping problem phantom tripping aside earth leakage may be the way to go but it causes so many probs when it takes out the main breaker before the one on that circuit. I spent a day or two once with this problem it came down to the connections at the switch board were connected in the wrong way for earth leakage on the workshop circuit difficult because it was the neutral wiring fitted by a handyman.

Like your small lathe looks like it is brand new.
