Hello gentlemen?
?
I¡¯m new here and new to vintage Emco machines too :)
?
my background is marine engineering and I have questions about my new machine that more experienced ppl will likely know !
?
First issue and the main one is the mill motor spins over but has no torque, you can stop the spindle by hand even in low gear ¡­¡­
?
the motor wiring looks suspect to me v¡¯s the wiring diagram?
?
at some point the 4core cable has been replaced and the coulors do not match which is a pain !
?
first wire issues are two of the motor wires were joined together not per drawing, Earth ok
?
so I would need a technique to I¡¯d the wires at the motor end and replace the cable for the correct coulor code
?
next question : Is there a controller for the motor or just a simple switch ?
?
next question : Is there a manual for the mill only ? I have the standard manual with some details but not what I would consider a full manual / leads onto ¡­..
?
how to adjust the spindle bearings if at all possible?
?
I think that covers the main points if any folk can help !
?
?
cheers R
