In July of last year I got tired of belt swapping on my 1624, and bought their DVR headstock upgrade. I have LOVED it ever since, up until today. While turning some smallish (8" or so) well balanced bowls, the lathe would die and the screen would go blank. After switching off and on, unplugging and re-plugging, etc., I could get it to come back on, but never for more than one minute before dropping out again. I never saw the "low voltage" message that I see every time I shut the switch off after using the lathe. It also never got above 6% load on the screen. I took the cover off the control box to look for any loose or damaged components. Nothing ever got hot. Tried several outlets to no avail. None of my other equipment showed signs of a power problem.
Anyone else had this happen before?
I'll call them in the morning. I am well within the two year warranty period. I just hope I done have to wait as long for the repair as I did for the motor. I really don't want to put the old motor back on.
