I was running two cut files on my MM this afternoon. The first one ran fine, and completed in about 20 minutes. I swapped a new workpiece onto the table, loaded the new gcode, hit start, and... the MM started running, but the router didn't power up :mad:.
I tested various things with the router on the Z slide, including powering it directly from an extension cord, with no success. Resigned to sending it in for warranty repair, I removed it from the MM.
As a last-ditch effort, I tried moving the electronic speed control knob through its FULL range of motion. When I got to the highest setting (7) the router powered on!
Has anyone else encountered this before? Could this be caused by dust or dirt in the knob assembly? Hmm... :confused:
