Hi,
I have been a member for several years but rarely post, usually on every day however, observing threads. I have a 2012 F700z, single phase. Yesterday, while operating the machine, I starting to smell burning coming from inside. I shut down the machine, which appeared to still be operating fine except for the smell. This morning, I went out to begin investigating. I turned on the machine and ran it for about 30 seconds. I could immediately begin to smell burning, however, today it was obvious that the spindle wasn¡¯t spinning at normal speed. I pulled off the back panel and it is pretty clear that the smell was originating at the motor. The motor was also extremely hot, which surprised me because it only ran for 30 seconds or so. I pulled the motor and have it out of the machine. Does it sound like the motor is ruined or is it repairable? ?If repairable, is it something that a good motor repair shop can handle or will I have to get it to Felder? ?Also, I do have a photo of the motor plate, but don¡¯t know how to add it. Thanks for reading
Brian Cosgrove
