Hi john

13 amp plug 13 amp fuse as supplied new

I am sure anything lower would blow on startup

The whole power cable earth along with other earthing wires inside the circuit board box have all got so hot the insulation has melted & Burnt

no fuses blew and no trips went on the machine

something has obviously shorted the mains directly to ground

The main circuit breaker in the garage tripped out and cut the power were it not for this I could have been electrocuted or had my garage burn down

It's now gone 5pm and my call hasn't been returned again !!

I'm also not a happy bunny with Warco for similar reasons as Rik Shaw...

I bought a new lathe from warco based on the old BH600 I owned which was a good machine

Lathe 1, GH1236, Finally delivered after 12 weeks (was told they lost it) with large amounts of paint falling off, rusty, bolts missing, panels bent and won't fit, threaded holes without threads in them, general poor quality - RETURNED

Lathe 2, Dropped and smashed during delivery by Warco staff - RETURNED

Lathe 3, After little use following ill health it has melted all the wiring and circuit boards - warco inform me that they only cover parts after 6 months so I have to pay to have it inspected and repaired. they will provide parts only !! Not what you expect from a so called good company with an excellent reputation

Currently awaiting said parts !!!

Hi Iain

You know what they say it's not what you've got it's what you do with it that counts.

I'm lucky in that my company pays for my kit not me personally, otherwise I'd still have my old worn out myford
