Hi all.
bit lost and after some advice.
bit of back ground:
new to mini lathes
made a couple car ECU’s and can use a multi meter at a hobby level, happy to swap components and solder.
been using my new to me 12 year old sieg SC2 lathe for a while and enjoying it.
i was making a new handle wheel, cutting a bit of a heavy cut at a taper if I’m honest (my fault)
made a pop and the power went off in the garage.
glass fuse had popped and the breaker for the garage. Which was odd.
replaced glass fuse with a 5amp breaker
now when ever I plug it in, all is fine, UNTILL I hit the power switch and it pops the garage breaker (not the lathe fuse)
I tried disconnecting the motor and still the same happens.
couldn’t see or smell any dead components
couldn’t find any breaks to ground but I may have missed one?
any thoughts or ideas to test?
Thanks
Andy
