    What to do if my Craftex CX801 Lathe motor does not run when the power switch is turned on?

      If the motor of your Craftex Lathe doesn't run when you turn on the power switch, the switch may be burnt out, so replace it. Another possible cause is a loose or damaged connection wire, which you should tighten or replace.

      If your Craftex Lathe motor does not reach full speed, it could be due to incorrect power wiring, so replace it with correctly sized power wiring. Another possibility is that the lathe is overloaded, so reduce the load.

      If your Craftex Lathe motor isn't running at full speed, the power voltage might be too low, so test the voltage. Also, the motor might be damaged, so check and repair it.

    How to improve accuracy of my Craftex CX801 Lathe?

      If your Craftex Lathe has poor accuracy, make sure the workpiece is balanced and clamped correctly. Also, adjust the center alignment because the tailstock center and headstock center may be out of alignment. Finally, check the machine leveling periodically, as machine leveling loss can cause accuracy issues.
