Nova 1624 II Died

[Allen Howell]

I just had a major catch while turning my first vase (would have been 6" h x 4.5" w) and it powered down. Now it won't start back up. I tried the reset button, checked the gfci, and the reset button is in the up position and won't go down. Have I killed my lathe?

Allen, try pulling the plug from the outlet. Wait a while (at least a minute or longer) ... then plug it back in and start your lathe. That has worked in the past for me .... kind of like what I have to do on my computer sometimes.

 

[Allen Howell]

Well, egg on my face. It worked! Thanks for the suggestion, Tom.

Bummer to lose the vase after all that work. But it will be a nice bowl. Glad your lathe powered back up.

The wood moved on u. Need to Hollow an inch at a time completely, u cannot Hollow 4 inches and come back and finish the top. U can drill a dept hole .

Yeah, I think I was being too aggressive with my cuts. I'll SLOW down next time. Thanks everyone for the support.
