Powermatic 3520a will not run.

[Ted Okolichany]

Turned on my lathe today to finish a bowl and the motor will not urn on. Checked the VFD and it indicated a error. Reset the VFD. No error. Tried to start. Spindle took about 1/4 turn, stopped. Checked VFD reading. Error message again. Run and stopped highlighted in red on VFD reading. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ted

Call Powermatic tomorrow , they should be able to help.

I had the exact scenario with my 3520a. Had to replace the VFD, and Powermatic was not particularly helpful. They will sell you one for at least twice as much as you can get one elsewhere.
