New Brushless Servo Motor For The Mini Lathe

A few months ago I changed the Motor of my Mini Lathe. The reason for this was, that the original electronics of my machine quit working with a loud bang and a broken basement fuse. It was no longer possible then to adjust the speed, the lathe ran only at it's highest speed anymore.
It seems that this happens to most of the Mini Lathe users at some point.
As I have no clue about electronics and heard some good reviews of the brushless servo motors, supplied for industrial sewing machines, I decided to replace the old motor and electronic with such a kit.
So far I'm really happy with the performance. At the moment the controller and main motor switch are just installed provisorily. But there are plannings for integrating both in a much smoother way. Especially the motor switch is a bit strange to use as it is intended for a foot pedal use. But we will see, if we can implement it in a useful way in the future.

I hope you enjoy this episode. If there are questions or suggestions, let me know in the comments.
