So yesterday I was working on a part and had to shut down the lathe for an extended break. When I came back and started it up the spindle would only turn about 10% of the normal speed. Wide open gave me about 400 vs 4000 rpm. It ran this way for a bit, I was able to make a couple passes on the aluminum part I was making, then after I turned the spindle off while measuring I heard a faint pop in the contactor cabinet (I think) and no more spindle spin. I cycled power on the machine and now the contactor will not engage when I press the green button.
Any guesses out there from the learned?
