I recently bought a second hand MC900 Wood Lathe in Brisbane. When I got it home and tried to use the thing, I noticed that the speed adjustment was not working. I took off the adjustment arm and cleaned it out as was full of junk. I then put it back and with a bit of force it worked, allowing me to increase the speed. When I was turning it back to the slowest speed, there was a large banging noise and the left pulley exploded into about 10 pieces, without the guard on as I was still trying to make sure it was running correctly, it went all across my workshop (luckily I was standing off centre and was wearing face protection).
I am new to the world of turning and am greatly disappointed that my lathe is no-longer working as I am a university student with a young family and thus could have spent my money on many other things. I however am still determined to get it working and was wondering if someone would know where I can get a new “pully-motor (left)” for my Variable Speed Wood Lathe MC900. Thanks
