Morning all

I’ve got an older version of a Chester Champion 16VS Mill. I was having some problems with the relay tripping and now the top boards gone. Does anyone know of a plug and play control for a milling machine? Its pretty basic, spec below

DC Motor
0.6Kw
50-2250 rpm
Variable speed
bidirectional

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Cheers MH

There are a lot of drive controllers round for DC motors. The one I have on my Novamill is a KB Electronics one, not sure of the model, but seems pretty bulletproof. There are also loads of cheap options on eBay, I couldn’t vouch for any of them. One key question is whether your motor has a wound field or permanent magnet – if the first then make sure you get a drive with an output to drive this.

One supplier is https://www.alldrivesandcontrols.co.uk/kbelectronics
