Help with Poolwood Euro 2000 lathe
J Steven Anderson:
Hi
Anybody know of any electrical engineer who can help? I have have a Poolwood Euro 2000 and it just went 'bang'. I think it could be the starter but I am not sure.
Any advise would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi Steven....welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear about the "Bang", that must have been a tad traumatic. The first piece of advise that I can offer is that you give readers some idea of where in the UK you are! Many of us may know elec-engs, but location will be everything!
Good luck with getting it sorted.

Sounds like it could be your capacitor. If it was me, I would open up the little bump on the side of the motor. If it is the capacitor it will smell awful and there may be a leakage of black gunk. Don't touch it with naked fingers but clean it up as best you can. The capacitor details will be written on it . go to a wholesaler and buy a new one. There is usually only 2 wires to connect.
Paul Hannaby:
If I remember rightly, those lathes have DVR motors and wouldn't have a capacitor - they are just used on single phase AC motors.

It might be worth sending an email to https://www.paulhowardwoodturner.co.uk/
of the sphere and router jigs. I know he has serviced a Euro 1500 for a friend of mine.
He may be able to advise you
