Checked the fuse... all good... I don't think so, when I hooked up the motor directly to the mains (with the capacitor in) it ran smoothly.

Question is... is it worth having a PCB on here? Like... seriously... I'm not going to sell nor do I plan to move this jointer to anyone else.

It's connected directly in several ways to the power switch. I really need to write up the wiring diagram along with labelling the wires, all the wires are black which doesn't help matters. Seem to fine, I can load it on different platforms... essentially it's just motor jittering. I...

Apologies all, Just read this, give me a couple of hours to get myself up and running and I'll get more pictures :) Thank you for the help.

This... And I know it's not the capacitor...

Record Power - RSPT 260

Fanstatic explanation thank you @Spectric, only wish I knew enough to ascertain whether the fault is with the PCB. Sending this to Record Power, I might as well buy a new one. Anyway I shall plod, learn as ascertain with time 😊 Thank you again.

Morning All, Quick, silly question... Given the simplicity (or at least it used to be) of the mechanical elements in things like jointers and band saws for instance, why is there a need for PCBs in them? Reason for my ask is that I am troubleshooting a jointer at the moment and will probably...

Quick update on here, Finally got a contact/electrician that looks like the part, For ref.: Fusion Electrical NW

Hi All, Anyone have any idea where I could get the 30" disk pads for the sander and the paper/bits for the bobbin sander? On the bobbin side I have several diameters... Been looking around and can't seem to find any suppliers. Thank you in advance, J

Awesome video, I think I'm on the same boat, my PT260 is having the jitters and after testing and making sure it wasn't the capacitor, the problem lies upstream, first component on the block is this switch. Has anyone found a suitable up to date replacement?

Welcome! Enjoy the new hobby... :)

Perhaps, I think I need to do a top down approach. Circuit by circuit, breaker by breaker... starting with the capacitor. Would be nice if I had a proper circuit diagram with component parts, but hey ho.

Did you manage to get one in the end? I think I'm on the same boat.

Can't seem to replicate this exercise now, When I wire it up properly, the motor just jitters and doesn't start. Finding it hard to troubleshoot the fault, Any have any experience with this Record?

Welcome!

Fantastic Scotty, thank you for sharing.

Here here!

Agreed...

Fair point... but again, I'm willing to pay, it's just getting the right benchmark. Hence my problem, and industrial sparkies will simply not come near domestic installations unless their company and remit are aimed at both. (and have a Part P) Agree, however when I host any electricians for...
