    The part is due in 48 hours. I have been working on other parts of the shop and looking forward to the big reveal.

    The 20 or 22 mm probably refers to the diameter of the body, behind the panel, which hardly matters.

    Heck, I'd buy the right pot. (Electrically) and hang it underneath until the new one comes that fits.

    Humming the Jeopardy Theme No Longer!!!!

    Yesterday the potentiometer arrived. It was easy to figure out how to replace it.
    So I did. Then I plugged it in. The rpm lights lit. I pushed all of the buttons and turned the dials. Silence. Nothing. Until I saw arrows on the Emergency Stop button. I turned the button. It popped out. And it turned on.

    Habemus Latham! We have a lathe!

    I arranged to take a "Sabbatical" which in my life means "2 days off in a row". Tomorrow the wood spins.

    Hello Brian,

    Is your new lathe up and running ?? Hopefully it is working perfectly for you.

    Perhaps I'll see you at the SDWT meeting Saturday.

    Aw, come on, man! Is "nice" related to the bowls you turned or info on the lathe? A little more descriptive and a few more particulars like torque, smoothness, features, ergonomics, power, your impressions....etc, might make this a bit more an interesting response!

    If you are too busy at the moment to give a full review, then tell us that, and then when you might be able to do that! I mean, you get what is reported to be a killer machine, and we all have been holding our breath waiting to hear from you......... Aw, come on, man!

    Everything about this machine is a smooth beast. I am just learning to drive. I will give a full review when I can. Thanks for asking

    Just for completeness, is it a standard pot?
