My Craftex mini lathe uses a 4.7 k pot with a switch for speed control.
The splined post broke off the pot.
So I need to change it.
Being as cheep as I am,, A local electronic shop has 5k pots w switch for $3.99 & no shipping costs.
would there be any concernable difference in the 5k as to the 4.7k ?
As long as a 5k keeps the rpm stable from low to mid range, even if the rpm ramps up quicker at the hi end of the 5k it should be within range.. I hope..
I hope I stated that right..
lmao
