![]() 74 forum posts 2 photos | I have been given parts of a Sieg C1 lathe and milling attachment. Never to run again as a lathe because the headstock is missing I would like to use it a milling machine only. I have assembled the milling attachment to the lathe bed and cross slide, it all looks good to go and when connected to the mains the motor spins. Now my problem is I have no speed spindle control it runs only at max speed. Is there any products available that will allow speed control along with forward and reverse? I know I could purchase all the parts as fitted to the Sieg C1 lathe but was hoping for a simple fix. Any help would be appreciated. |

1479 forum posts 1 photos | Ok, We have determined that the speed controller linked to is not suitable and that the motor is ' 120 watt 240 AC).... So how about a photo or two of what you actually have so we can help? |

343 forum posts 36 photos | Carl, some details of the Parker control unit in my Sieg, think it's a 506 in mine but can't check without stripping the top off the box, 1st link is for a .pdf user manual, second is a website which gives more detail, no connection to either concerns, just a happy user, John
