That was all the good news
The not so good news ??
Damn mill caused me grief again .
The motor is a DC 230 volt and variable speed.
This is the second time the circuit board Has crapped out .
Not much chance of getting another board at the moment so I went “ Number 8 wire “ Or “ KISS “
Remove board and ditch . Install a 240 volt variac from spare parts draw And a bridge rectifier .
It works
I am thinking of getting a bigger mill but wife is a bit unsure .
Sounds like i might need to sell some engines to contribute !!
Cheers
Dennis
