Re: New Rebuild on Sherline Chucker Lathe & New build on 5400 mill

I'm lost as to what you are doing between both machines. Is there AC voltage to the DC spindle drive? That drive is what actually feeds the spindle motor. I think you mentioned it was a KB unit from Sherline? That's where I would be concentrating my efforts if the spindle analog voltage out from Ac...

Re: New Rebuild on Sherline Chucker Lathe & New build on 5400 mill

1/2 amp probably is not enough to move the motor. Was the meter turned on when you tried to measure the resistance? Have you checked the battery in the meter? Meter is working fine I’ve been using it for days and yes it was on. Just know we warned you. You are trying to do diagnostics with essentia...

Re: New Rebuild on Sherline Chucker Lathe & New build on 5400 mill

Ill add to the story and will take the advise and look for a new meter. If anyone wants to provide a link for a simple one that would be helpful Yesterday I to a test by swapping the motor and controls to determine IF the motor is bad. Again all components on both machines and controls are the same....

Re: New Rebuild on Sherline Chucker Lathe & New build on 5400 mill

To test motor I’ve disconnected leads p2 & f- from the KBIC240, connected a 9volt 500ma AC adapter to the wires going into the KBSI-240, plug in the ac adapter and get nothing, no spindle. To make sure PSU is working test a small toy motor to see if it spins up and it dose, and test with volt me...
