Jim,
It does have a separate small fan which I assumed (I know, I know) was to cool the electronics. Thanks for the education. (I hate it when I find out I'm not as smart as I think I am... again.)
MAE,
I got used to the pushbutton speed control pretty quickly and think nothing of it now. Hold the up or down button down and it will accelerate/decelerate smoothly. Short presses will increment the speed up or down by 10 rpm. I like being able to stop this lathe and then restart at the previous speed, in either direction. Handy for threading. My 7x14 had a speed control pot that had to be returned to zero to restart the machine after stopping it for any reason.
