Questions and answers
My saturn lathe the display seem to be malfunctioning it is showing rpm xxxx -#2D? READY TO RUN >> Nothing happens to either the buttons on the display panel. the lathe will not run
The display showing "rpm xxxx -#2D" and the lathe not running could be caused by a rotor fault. This may happen if the spindle index is engaged or something is preventing the spindle from turning. Check that the spindle index is disengaged and that nothing is obstructing the spindle.
