Hi,

Anybody ever have any problems with the (add-on) remote switch for the
Oneway lathe? Mine is starting to fail. Was wondering if they've been
able to get replacement switches at a local electronic place.

And...yeah...before anybody suggestes it, I'm putting a call into Oneway
in the morning. But hoping I can find the switches locally...both for
speed and because Oneway seems to add a healthy mark-up.

thanks,

randy

it may be dust - try compressed air and clean them out

Yeah...did that a couple of times...but it's failing nore & more often.
I'm thinking that maybe the contacts in the switch(s) are getting worn.
I do a lot of boxes & things that require fitting...so...it gets used
quite a bit...lotta start/stop.

In any case, shoulda contacted Oneway first. They're shipping new
switches at no cost. Great lathes...class company.

Thanks,

Problem solved, obviously. But you might try shooting some WD-40 onto the
contacts of the other switch. Works nicely with most types of contacts,
including those carrying RF energy.

BAD IDEA! WD-40 is flammable. Try
DE-OXIT for cleaning electrical contacts. That's what it's made for.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not THAT bad! I don't think Maxprop meant to operate the switch under load
while spraying. Afew seconds after spraying, 99% of the volatiles are gone,
(based on virtual tests conducted in my imagination G). Most of us have
WD-40 within easy reach--How many have De-oxit?

It appears to be flammable only when atomized. I've attempted to ignite a
small reservoir of the stuff, without success.
