Warco GH1224VS

O.K. let me try to understand the problem, does the lathe speed vary or is the display just showing odd readouts ?

If it is the first one it could be a faulty potentiometer.

If it is the second one, it could be contamination on the sensor. My Amadeal lathe had this and the remedy was to clean up the optical sensor (some grease had got in it).

Last night I was looking at the potentiometer on line. I thought it turned a lot but now think its a ten turn type? where do I find the optical sensor? I think ill buy a new potentiometer anyway they are cheap enough. I just hope I haven't screwed up the settings on the key pad? and don't no how to reset it?

Now I have some further information, it appears I cannot help you. The optical sensor will be on the main shaft of the lathe. I can't find any info on the 1224VS, have you talked to Warco, they are generally helpful.

Spoke to Warco today they have no spares for electrical parts on this machine they did send me a manual for the inverter, so hope I can work out what needs to be checked. The inverter is a Sunfar C300 they tell me? it may help others who get in trouble

Good news lathe is working took the panel off the back and found a sticky E stop next to the inverter.

Glad you got it sorted I was going to suggest lose wire after the move, thanks for sharing for others.
