Here is a 3D CAD file of your mini lathe. ? The link is for an online web-based viewer. ?If you have the full version of Fusion360, you’d have better tools to inspect the design (or even to build a minilathe from scratch.)

But even with the web view, you can rotate and zoom and EXPLODE the parts to see what is inside.

One good tool the the “model browser” (5th icon from the right. ? This puts up a list of parts and you can remove some of them. ? ?If you remove the case and covers you can see how the internal parts work. ? ? All the screws ?are in the model too so you can see how to remove the covers.

I did not create this file. ?I did clean it up a little. ? My use of it is to build a CNC conversion. ? The model is accurate enough to do virtual test fits of replacement parts.

Using the Guides is a good idea. Checking the brushes is a good idea.

Both of them take us back to my original question: "HOW TO INSPECT MOTOR"?

The Mini Lathe is probably very old, I have had it for 10 years, the previous owner probably 20 -30 years.


The motor is encased. How do I remove the cover?

The problem is more likely to be in the controller than the motor - motor problems usually keep the motor from running. (That's based on experience with brushed motors - I've got no experience with the newer brushless ones.)
