Quick question, folks...
I've got a neat little 9" Logan lathe, which I use to make bushings and such for my projects. At first it was didnt really have any issues with its thermal overload switch, then it started having some, and now it literally trips with the lathe spinning with no load on it, and while the motor is completely cool to the touch.
So, I'm guessing theres something up with the switch itself. The lathe has a 1HP 110V electric motor. Is it a good idea to override/disable/remove this thing? If so, how do I go about it?
