1129 forum posts 1 photos	Hi all, Yesterday I was using the mill for some light facing in aluminium and the x feed was working fine and has never beeen a problem. This morning when I came to do another job the unit seems to have a fault. The power light no longer seems to come on yet the table feed to the LHS works exactly as it should but the other way nothing happens at all. I have checked all fuses etc and all are good. I am rubbish at electrics and am loatht o get inside the unit without some good advice please. Regards, Martin
