I have over current on my mini lathe too.
Great if turning Plastic,? Aluminum,? Brass and Wood.
If turning steel at lower speeds is where the mini lathe motor is in trouble.?
It is easy to calibrated a temperature gauge that reads at 212¡ã F [100¡ãC] just place the Capillary bulb in boiling water should read? 212¡ã F [100¡ãC] .?
Using a temperature gauge is easy way to save the mini lathe from sending smoke signals saying I am to hot.
