Bridgeport power feed out 1/19/18 [resolved]

In all of yesterday’s excitement, I forgot to mention that when I went to demonstrate the Bridgeport power feed for the class, it did not function!

The little red light on the panel face lit, so there was power to the box. The motor made absolutely no sound.

Does any body know what happened or even when it was last functional?

Not sure what has occurred, do know that as of 1 week ago it was functional.

Anyone look at the fuse yet?

Could be the brushes too.

I hope not. This is already the second set in a year and half

I’ll check on this tomorrow

I think that I must have had a total brain freeze on this. I don’t recall throwing the directional lever in either direction! So, likely is operational. I’ve used it a lot; don’t know how I over looked that then. So any body that is holding back on teaching due fear of not being expert enough should note …

Sorry about that

Good news is the power feed appears fine. Bad news is there is an issue with the cold saw

What’s going on?

I was standing there and I didn’t think about that either!

Should I order an extra couple or three sets of brushes? That should have used the last set.

We still have new brushes in the Teachers cabinet
