Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone point me in the right direction. I've recently bought a Bridgeport series one.  Only got it wired in last week. and now going through the snag list.  The power feed motor has no power at very low travel speeds. It does work and have plenty of power at higher...

What kind of milling attachment do you mean? Are you talking about the cutting tools or the x and y plane vices? I don't have a mill either but I get my cutting tools and stuff I want to last from Cromwell. Or if I want something made out of cheese there loads of that on ebay.

your own vmc? I thought I was pretty well equipped but everyone who's replied to me has at least a lathe Just curious. What do we all use them for? I have a trackday motorbike with some non standard stuff I mainly use mine for spacers and bodywork mounts etc. I think it's about the most...

thank you all very much. Doesn't look like I can offer any free machining in return for the help I have received. well done Paddler for spotting my "deliberate" mistakes. What a great forum nice to know there are like minded people here. I don't have that many electrical problems but I do...

I can't believe it. I'm so used to failing .But it is working. must complicated one so far and I had to do it twice . I can't thank you enough Cheers John

here it is drawn out. ill give it a go http://s493.photobucket.com/user/splinge2002/media/IMAG0553.jpg.html

This works as long as either the forward or revers are disconnected . the switching itself seems to operate but as soon as I switch from the off position it trips. http://s493.photobucket.com/user/splinge2002/media/IMAG0552.jpg.html it's not blowing fuses it's tripping my rcd yes it is...

none of the terminal pairs on the switch have a resistance of more than 0.3 ohms

yep still runs fine both directions when wired in to a socket here it is forward http://s493.photobucket.com/user/splinge2002/media/IMAG0550-1.jpg.html here it is reverse http://s493.photobucket.com/user/splinge2002/media/IMAG0551.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 can you see what I've done wrong with...

But it runs fine in both directions when wired in to a socket. Well it did going to go back and try it. Got to be something I'm doing.

Just tested it 240 volts between motor live and neutral  one way . Reversed it and push started it rotating looked like .79 volts but the motor started smoking in the time it took me to get my multi meter probes located. and definitely running at lower speed not sure I believe less than 1 volt...

i haven't tested yet but I've been suspicious of the capacitor or the way it's been wired in since last weekend. Are there any tests I can do on that? I'm going to be seeing this in my sleep tonight. I'll check but I think the switch is ok

Am I right in thinking if there is a greater resistance across any of the terminals that the voltage will be lower? I'm thinking I will check what voltage I have when the motor is running in each direction

will do. ill give it a look tomorrow. there are unused terminals on the switch if that is the case. I can use them

it's fairly new. it works both forward and reverse fine when wired to a socket in each configuration separately.  I did that first thing today just to check Your diagram though different from mine worked in the same way mine did. So at least I can feel slightly vindicated. There must be many...

it works. but it's back to needing a push to get it to reverse. it runs at about half speed in reverse

I've drawn it out. i'll give it a go . worst will be it trips my board. let you know in 30 min  

here is a link to that photo. http://s493.photobucket.com/user/splinge2002/media/IMAG0545.jpg.html I have no Idea what is happening to the font here link http://s493.photobucket.com/user/splinge2002/media/IMAG0545.jpg.html that's better

here's the link to the wiring diagram I just tried but trips my rcd paperwork for the switch is all in chinese here's the link http://s493.photobucket.com/user/splinge2002/media/IMAG0544.jpg.html it appears to be a switch that just connects pairs of terminals I've tested which ones and made a...

yes there is in one of the photos I posted . just posting a new pic of the latest and simplest wiring diagram yet . but it just trips out my fuse board here's the link to the wiring diagram in the motorhttp://s493.photobucket.com/user/splinge2002/media/IMAG0528-1.jpg.html
