Hello all,
My recently aquired SpectraLight/Intelitek lathe spindle motor won't start. I heard a relay (?) click but the motor does not start. I think the door safety switch is ok but need to check that out further. I got the machine from a college near and wonder if the spindle motor has been stalled and burned out something in the cotrol box? The table motion seems to work, just no spindle. I looked in the control box and there are two capacitors that has text on them 63v 6800/uf 5365 (m)? I have no elec knowledge, but understand that some motors won't start without working capacitor? Might anyone direct me as to what my problem might be? I did check out simple things like fuses. I contacted Intelitek but they are quite expensive.
Thanks in advance
Mike
