Warco WM300/2 Lathe tacho upgrade

I've owned a Warco WM300/2 lathe for over 18 years and today was the time to upgrade to a digital speed display like some of the more modern lathes have and try to move into the 21st Century!

In the video I explain how I have fitted it with the usual details. You'll see me dismantling a plug top PSU to power the tacho. SEE BELOW

PLEASE BE AWARE I AM WORKING WITH LEATHAL VOLTAGES WHICH WILL KILL. I AM A TRAINED ENGINEER SO KNOW WHAT I AM DOING. IF YOU WISH TO DO THE SAME PLEASE ENSURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR GET A QUALIFIED PERSON TO HELP. MAINS VOLTAGES CAN AND WILL KILL

All went well and I show the tacho is giving an accurate readout.
