Thanks for all your input everyone. It's been very helpful.

Hi Jason

There's a screw in the main body bottom left that it should be attached to via a nut. It hadn't been fixed and was just left floating around.

As a newbie to this is a Potentiometer the knob that adjusts the speed?

Here are the photo's of the board.

Thanks XD. I took the back of the lathe off to look at the board and there was an item that had blown. It could be a transistor. It has the words MIN below it and the one next to it has the words MAX below it. This one is sound. I also noticed that the earth strap that should have been connected to the lathe was just hanging loose!!

I've got in touch with supplier to get it sorted anyway. Thanks again.

Hi all, I wonder if anybody has any ideas on this problem. I've just bought and received a new mini lather: MosaicAL 600w 7x12 2500rpm with variable speed.

Everything is absolutely fine apart from the issue i'm about to explain.

I switched the lathe on and it worked perfectly. I adjusted the variable speed control to speed it up and then reduce speed and it was great for about 20 seconds. The there was a pop like a fuse blowing and the lathe went to full speed. No matter what i did with the speed control knob it stayed at full power.

I have contacted the supplier but any ideas would be great.

Many thanks
