Hi Forum, I am just new to this forum, hope someone can assist me...
I have a Bridgeport (BP), for years up and running in my garage, never one problem. See pics for type.
However, after a small job yesterday, nothing special, I started it up, but it seems the motor doesn't want to do anything anymore. The spindle is rotating free, the current is running to the relais... but when I push the start button (the green light of the button illuminates) only the relais clicks. My BP (25V) lights work, no unusual sounds yesterday... nothing.
Does this motor have brushes or is it brushless. It looks like that something between relais<>motor something goes wrong.
Checked three (weird) fuses, but they are ok.
I don't have a wiring diagram, have a multi-meter, but I am not a 'electronics specialist'. Years ago I did installed the BP myself to a 3Ph converter and hooked it up; from the first switch it has run for many years without any problems. Recently I did clean its coolant reservoir/pump and got the light working; all went fine and didn't need to touch anything electric of the mill itself. Milling the last few weeks without any problem... I just switched it off yesterday (as usual)...
Where do I start...?
Kind reg.
