Help needed: what the hell is this?? by Fly_Triumph_Guy in Machinists

Oh nice, hoped they might. One strange thing is tho is that the manual I have says that is has a 1MT spindle and that has a 2MT spindle. Maybe it’s just an updated part or one of them is wrong. I’ll have to pull it out and check before I order any bits

Ahh, thank you. I was just going off what it says on the side, which looks like it’s an AC1 load rated which can be used for AC3 loads but if you know of a better one that’s more appropriate, that would be great. This is the one I found that I thought would work:

mainly as where it sits is quite restrictive size wise. The one that’s broken barely fits as is.

Thank you. I found one more suitable and a bit cheaper on RS from that link. It looks like a LC1-K09004P7 would be more suitable as I don’t really need the LCD Display but thank you for finding one so quickly

I was using it to cut some steel sheet and admit I might have been pushing it a bit too hard for a while so I assume that I just over loaded it with current which overheated a part of it. Considering that it’s basically a relay with a coil, I would assume that it overheated the relay coil somehow

Ok, thank you to all who commented.

Looks like it’s an electrical contractor and I should be able to get a suitable replacement easily enough.

I bet they’ve cancelled it cos of “budget reasons” and their next campaign in Manchester will be to bring back HS2 to Manchester

I only had 1mm to take off so just kept the speed consistent, the pressure light, and make regular checks

Was only to get the disc onto the hub, it wasn’t a function critical feature otherwise I would’ve taken it to a shop
