mini lathe speed control

[David Wilkinson 3Participant @davidwilkinson3]

Good evening, I’m a new boy here, and look forward to participating. I’m a retired toolmaker, with CL 300M lathe and ‘Conquest’ mill and making tools and attachments for them. At the moment my turning has come to a halt – the fuse blew, and after replacement the lathe ran on full revs only. I’ve now obtained and fitted a new speed control switch (from Machine Mart) but to no avail! – still just full speed. My electrical skills are very limited indeed, so am now wondering what my next step will be…..suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards, David.

Hi David,

There have been two threads on this topic. One in 2009 and one in 2010.

If you put cl300 in the keyword search box it will take you to these two threads. You may well find an answer there. If I remember correctly there are a few different versions of speed controller used. These threads should at least help you identify the version you have.

Les.
