Hey all, thought I'd pass this along.
I have one of the HF 7x10 mini lathes with the Littlemachineshop.com extended beds.
When it works it works fine but, I've had more than my fair share of issues with the speed
controllers. They just don't like to be worked. LOL For some strange reason I'd shut it down
for the evening and when I tried to use it again the next evening it would be dead. Well, I've
bought enough controllers and repaired enough controllers that I could have bought a bigger lathe
with all the money I've spent! At $160 a pop now I was about to scrap this thing and buy
something else. That was until I found this controller online.

Guys, this thing ha lasted longer than any of the expensive ones I've had.
Speed control knob is a bit touchier than the originals but it keeps running.
