Thank you for the detailed reply’s , very much appreciated. I won’t be able to get to the machine until the back end of next week however I will take the motor off and take a look , fingers crossed it’s just dirty points like suggested.

best regards

Good Morning

Hoping someone can help me out .

A few months ago I bought a Bridgeport miller (which I believe was single phase from factory)

I’ve got a slight issue which I’m hoping someone can offer me some advice .

- When the spindle stops in a certain position , upon restart the spindle won’t spin and the motor grumbles . When it does I stop the machine and rotate the spindle slightly by hand to another position , then it starts up fine (spindle seem nice and free). It does stop in to positions where it starts without issue , seems to be a 1 in 3 chance of it stopping in the bad spot.
I’ve done a bit of reading online and keep coming across a start up capacitor ? But I’m not too clued up on the electrical side , more mechanical and CAD . Does anyone have any advice ?

- On the back of this does anyone have a single phase wiring diagram , it’s something I’m keen to learn more on.

thanks in advance for any advice , it’s much appreciated .

Mike
