Just opened a brand new Bauer 14x20 1HP lathe I picked up a few days ago from Harbor Freight. It powers on and the RPM read 00 and it doesn’t spin at all.
I just want to make sure I’m not missing something stupid like a safety switch before I return it, which is already going to be a pain in the ass because I’ve gotta drive 45 minutes out of my way. No error codes or anything. When I turn it on, the display reads 00 RPM. If I spin the head stock by hand, the display does register and read that it is spinning. If I crank up the speed knob, nothing happens. No hum from the motor or anything. Belt tension looks good, power supply seems alright to me. Tried multiple outlets etc.
