I just (2 days ago) received my new (Homier)Speedway 7 x 12
mini-lathe and the reverse stopped working. It worked the
1st couple of days but the RPMs were half of the forward speed
in high and low gear. Now reverse does not work at all. Is
this a known problem with the Speedways? What should I do
about this? The forword works great!

Hi George,

AFIK the forward/reverse is not a common problem with the Homier
7x12's. This sounds like a problem with the f/r switch and Homier
will likely ship a new one quickly once you contact them. I had a
FET fail and a new board arrived from Homierwithin 10 days - nice
people to deal with.

Someone else in this group may have more knowledge than I on the
common electrical problems. To contact owners who are guaranteed to
be knowledgable on the lathe's electrical problems you might try the
group which specializes in this area:

John,

Thanks for the info. I will contact Homier on
Monday

You already have answers for the "no reverse" problem.

FYI, these lathes *all* run slower in reverse than forward. It is
just another "feature". It appears to actually be intentional, since
there is a resistor added to the circuitry only in reverse.
Probably to protect us (or our lathes) from ourselves... It is not
mentioned in the user's manual, AFAIK.

Has anyone defeated this resistor? If so, what were the results?
