Jet JVM-728 mill, 20 years old. Kind of cranky when took possession;
rebuilds of the gears and cleaning out 19 years of chips have it now
running like a top. A couple weeks ago, put a longer neck on the
worklight and had to replace the wire running to the light
(obviously). Since the existing wires were wire-nutted, it was a brainless
exercise.
However, yesterday, the mill started blowing fuses. It's a 220V machine
and each leg has a 20A fuse. I pulled the transformer and all the motors
run fine if I press the button on top of the magnetic-clutch/terminal
block/whatever the hell it's called thingie (and nothing blows). But if I
connect the transformer, it pops the fuse or the breaker. A friend told me
that these transformers are 220V in and 110V out and all they do is charge
those clutch thingies (from the power box buttons) to power the
motors. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to transformers (pretty clueless
when getting past the first week of VocElect with DC actually) and need
some help on getting this fixed. I can shim the door to the circuit box to
manually engage the press-button but methinks that's not a good long-term
strategy...
Help! :-O
Cheers!
