Autofeed on Bridgeport Fixed

Had a blown fuse - $0.21 repair cost. Someone probably engaged when X-axis locked or too high a feed rate and didn’t report that the auto-feed quit working. Please let us know when this happens so we can get it fixed.

There are 4 spares in teacher’s cabinet in plastic bag held to door by magnet. For future reference they are 7.5 amp.

We were wondering how long it would take. We purposely put a smaller fuse in after we rebuilt the feed.

not to mention the fuses were taped to the power cord right behind the Bridgeport. Sorry I didn’t let you know, but it was 3:30 in the morning and me be tired.
And thank you for @Photomancer getting some more fuses.

What was the original value? I agree a lower rated fuse will help protect it.

10 amp. They are zip tied or were to the power cord. Or we put them in the teacher cabinet on the door with a magnet.
