:(:((:C:C:C:CYep thats right the STUBBY stopped.:C:C:C:C:((:oo:

I was turning blanks round and waxing them and changed from the face plate to the chuck and i heard the whine of the VFD stop. and thats right it wouldnt start again

So PLEASE realise this is a very very very sensative thing so no bullsh*t or smart remarks are required.

I tried the drill in the extension lead and it works fine.

HELP RSSER or TTIT is there a reset switch on these things or what.

Thanks in advance

That's a GLOOM!
No idea about reset...but just adding an "Oh My God" thought.

David .
The manuel that I googled said this.

"Emergency mushroom stop switch Item#4 cuts all power to lathe and must be purposely reset by twisting knob once hazard is corrected.
DO NOT use this switch for normal Stop/Start "

Does that make sense to you ?

Done that before but not this time.

The VFD has stopped the whine it has so i assume the power is not getting there.

I wonder if there is a reset on the Electrics somewhere.

Yep i know read the manual

Thabks for trying DJ.

Your lathe had just a bad temper that day :)
Luckely it runs again after thinking over what he did to such a nice guy.

...would have thought "rebooting" the electronic beast would have come to mind as the first thing to try:rolleyes::D

Thanks yep it was a tad embarrassing - but probably not the first time - as to reboot. Yep turned everything off unplugged power, tested lead reconnected everything just never thought to check the "emergency stop" switch was released. As i said i never use it so it never occured to me that it could be off, also didnt realise it killed the VFD just thought it killed the motor.:-:-:B:B

As for Jeff i didnt really think that line would have any effect. Groggy just ignored it. - it wouldnt if the boot was on the other foot, what was that song - "never let a chance go by" - who sung that GJ.

Having only worked thursday night /friday in the last 3 weeks i was getting used to being home but some "fool" has me going to Barnawatha tonight (leave Melb about 9pm) for a full week - must think i want to work or something - I still say work is overrated.:B:q

Cheers all.:2tsup:

Ah, the old SSDS .... Sudden Stubby Death Syndrome :wink:

The whine you mentioned David is prob the inverter ... so no whine, no power to the motor.

Is this the "Now coming back down to earth" from your avatar? :D:D:D

Very glad to hear it's up and running again. Could you imagine the effort required to "Just pop it back into the shop for us to take a look"???

Cheers,

To be fair, I'm pretty sure everyone left you alone until the fix was found as it is not fair to kick a man while he is down. After you find the solution though, well, that is a different kettle of fish. :wink:

Thanks Greg you are a real gentleman - all heart:2tsup::2tsup:

As for moving it - well if someone held up the front of my 8 x 5 trailer (so the tailgate was on the ground) i reckon i could lift/slide/walk it in the back (headstock end first) and then slide it up on my own - Would get the heart pumping but i reckon i could do it. :; I can actually lift either end on its own.

It would be great to have a block and tackle in the shed to move heavy stuff around; or a crane like DJ,s, then you could move the shed too! :U I shudder to think how I am going to move the 400kg lathe over to the window :think:.
