Hi all,

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will firstly see if I can get a replacement pot. If that doesn't fix it, I will pull the boards and check the solder joints. My shed is prone to a bit of condensation, so perhaps some joints have gone bad.....didn't know about lead free solder issues. Ill check all the things you all have suggested progressively. The mill was getting a bit of use for the first time in quite a while due to boredom from being in virus lockdown. 😏

Cheers

I have a lightly used BF20LV about 5 years old. Today whilst milling some aluminium, the motor stopped,( it had been running for about 5 minutes) the speed control read zero, turning the speed knob made no difference to the readout, the motor stayed stopped. Powered it off for a couple of minutes, turned it back on, and everything worked as normal for a couple of minutes when the same thing happened. Can repeat this cycle.

Any ideas as to probable issue, or fault finding procedure?
TIA
