Hi from a new member 👍

Sorry about the user name as I was pulling my hair out as it wouldn’t accept anything so tried just numbers and it worked 🤣

Mainly joined up after a Google search on lathe pcb problems…. Bought one just after Christmas with loads of tooling (see pic)  for just tinkering with motorbike bits and airgun bits…. Plus another thing the family breaks!

Not used a lathe since high school nearly 40yrs ago but enjoying it….. Just bought a 2nd lathe spares or repair but I’ll post that problem in a new topic 👍

Welcome!

You’ll soon get back into it, like riding a bike.

You look to have plenty nof kit so should be able to take on a lot of jobs.

If you need any advice or help, someone will come forward.

Find a Model Engineering club near to you and join. This will bring you into face to face contact with like minded folk, and you will be able to help each other.

Your lathe is badges as a Clarke.  It is actually made by Sieg, and is imported, to UK, by at least three other companies.

You will find that Ketan and ian at Arc Euro very helpful, and they carry spares, and accessories, should you ned them.

thanks ….. No1 will do 🤣🤣🤣

Had a good session after work today fault finding (knacked motor) and making up 1 lathe from all the good bits and a half decent 1 less a motor

If you want a new motor, talk to Arc Euro, but check which control board and motor. The C2 differs from the C3
