Back again Colin, I think you have enough details regarding the FETs.I couldn't remember what we used but did have a look on RS site and didn't actually find what I was looking for, never though of ebay. I can't get my head round RS site,better when I had a catalogue to look at.
I hope you soon get the lathe working once again. I have a Variac and loaned Derrick it, together with a bridge rectifier until we got his working, only thing was he had to make of few on going adjustment according to load or cut being taken, no real problem. I read some where that some lathe dealers are having their boards made in USA which they claim are more reliable, but are they being sub contracted to China ? Weather here has got warmer at last but with strong gusty winds.Best of luck Ted.
