As I said the brake is likely to be sprung-loaded so in the event of a power failure it will engage, so you'll need to physically dis-engage it to see if the motor then spins up normally...

Agreed, if you can work out which leads control the brake and/or if the brake needs to be permanently energised to release then you could ignore the electrickery and disconnect the brake leads. However I suspect the mechanism is spring loaded such that in the event of power loss the brake is...

Oh you might also want to check the fuse too - albeit it's 13A and if it had blown I'd not expect to see much of the resistor left...

Hi, It sounds like the electronic brake is permanently engaged. I'd suspect that that PCB likely controls the brake mechanism, and it looks like the middle of 3 resistors in the 1st pic bottom right has burnt and is likely open circuit. It appears to be 22Ω - colour code indicates value and it's...

TBH anything abrasive and loaded with material harder then your steel will do - think concrete doorstep for example For sure it ain't gonna produce a refined edge for fine wood carving but it'll be fine for a mortice chisel or a carving knife, the latter easier to do because of the broadness and...

I did one of those a few years ago, a flush fitting 750 x 495 Miele hob into an Ikea solid oak block worktop and one problem I found was that most router cutters are negative rake - so cut on the up-stroke and in these worktops that created an edge 'feather' of hard to remove wood fibres -as in...

I am no engineer, nor skilled woodworker for that matter but when drilling large >10mm holes I always worked up toward the final size, and the only disadvantage apart from speed of this approach is that in some materials taking in effect a maybe 1-2mm skim cut at the larger sizes meant higher a...

I personally find scalpels are the best tool for cutting out or trimming silicone sealant. I find that larger blades such as Stanley for example can become stuck where the Silicone grabs the sides of the blade making it harder to use than would a smaller blade such as a Swann Morton 10A. Whilst...
