SX3 Mill Power Feed Help Wanted

[Stewart HartParticipant @stewarthart90345]

I fitted a Power Feed to my beloved SX3 from Axminster about 6 years ago its been on the blink for about a month now yesterday it finally gave up the ghost and stopped working I think the problem stems from the direction switch or the capacitor it will jog when I press the stop button so its getting power to the motor I removed the covers and checked for lose/broken wires but could find nothing obvious, that exhausted my electronic capabilities.

I'm a complete novice when it comes to electricity I can just about wire up a plug:- so does any one know of a firm I could send it to to have it repaired it will set me back £400 to buy a replacement so a repair is well worth considering.

Cheers

Thanks Jason

I've managed to get it to an electronics guy who I use to work with he's going to have a look at it for me.

Hi Stewart, Check the travel limit switches on the front of the table. They are not sealed and can get oil/water in them and short out, Power feed thinks that travel limit has been tripped.
