hey guys,
I’m planning on calling Powermatic on Monday but I wanted to check here too in case someone ran into this issue.
I was just starting to turn, I put a blank between centers and turned the lathe on to 500. While turning, the lathe slowed down then went into reverse on its own. I thought maybe I did something wrong so I stopped it, and turned it back on without changing any setting and it went back into forward motion for less then a minute then it started fluctuating on its own. From 500 to 300, back up to 400 then down to zero and went into reverse.
It did that few times. I shut it down completely from the switch on the motor then turned it back on and it worked fine from there on.
Anyone had such experience?
