Hello All,
Excited to be apart of this community, make chips and to learn.
I recently acquired my first Horizontal Mill and I'm having issues getting it to run. I do plan on purchasing the appropriate manuals for this machine, but I can only spend so much per month (keeps me from over spending), this month was the mill.
I believe the issue is in the transformer, motor or maybe a bad connection (pulling to many amps)? I have the mill wired through a phase-o-matic. when I push the "go" button, there's a loud clicking noise coming from the junction box on the side of the column. It will sound like it wants to start but then goes from a clicking to a hum then one of the reset switch (one on the left) will pop.
I really don't know how I would test the electrics of this machine without a wire diagram/schematic, but I thought I'd first hook the motor to the phase-o-matic and at least confirm/deny its operability.
All in all, I guess I'm requesting some advise or at least an image of the wire diagram.
Again, I'm really looking forward to, hopefully, the beginnings of my home shop.
God Bless
