Sunday I was indicating some crappy part in on the lathe, and it just powered off... The turret dropped and squished my indicator...
Powered it back on, and it powered off, then again, then again... Then it was fine, then it powered off again.... Then it was fine
for a few hours and then it did it one more time later on... Haven't needed it since...
When it did happen, nothing special was happening... No thunderstorms(that I saw), never dropped out in a cut.. If there was some funky
power surge it didn't effect any other machines or computers, or the TV... If there was a short power blip the TV is usually the
first to shut off.... I won't discount the power blip.. It is summer time, and there is a thunderstorm somewhere close almost constantly.
Anyways... My plan is to run her here again and see if it happens again.....
What I'm asking is if there is a common failure or common point(crappy relay?) that would make this happen? Before I start chasing power
wires and swapping breakers, all the while hoping to not dig deeper into the machine.
