Dear Model engineers,
I was working at parting off some 63mm dia aluminium bar this afternoon when taking a light cut it just stopped.
I switched off to let it cool, I didn't feel hot nor had I been working the machine hard.
Switching on I thought i heard the no volt relay pull in, this was confirmed by lifting the chuck guard and i could hear a relay drop out.
The speed display lights and spinning the chuck by hand gives an rpm reading. The chuck feels unusually free spinning.
I checked the belts which are intact
so i guess its a problems with a fuse or the drive or motor.
I am reasonably competent with electrics and electronics but before I start pulling the thing apart to find the fault I wondered if anyone had any advice/experience of this happening to them?
The lathe is a Amadeal AMAT 210V with a brushless motor drive.
Many thanks Paul McD
