DM-18 Mill/drill failure

[Tony MartyrParticipant @tonymartyr14488]

I have a DM-18 variable speed milling and drilling machine which has given excellent service for the last 9 years but this morning, while fly-cutting an iron casting I hit a chill spot and the machine was stalled. I banged the EM stop and no obvious damage was done but the machine is now dead.

The drive system has been checked as OK, the electrical feed is OK and there is no electrical smell. In side the control box there is no sign of fuses so I am at a loss to know what has failed – any ides welcome

The EM stop isn't a proper stoplock is it.? You have reset it. Sorry to state the obvious.

[Tony MartyrParticipant @tonymartyr14488]

Yes Martin, all the obvious problems have been carefully checked

given the total lack of outward signs I will blame the printed circuit because I'm a 'rude mechanical'

Are there any panel indicator lights on this machine? Fuse in the plug ok? Seems strange there are no other protective devices on the mill……

Can you post up a picture or two of the mill, motor and control board please?
