Issues with the table can be the most frustrating to diagnose, but when a breaker is thrown, it suggests an electrical problem. Nevertheless, the cause might still be rooted in mechanical faults. Here’s a systematic approach to identify and solve this:
A dry table will heat up quickly, causing metal-on-metal resistance that can halt motion. Ensure there’s always a sufficient amount of recommended table lube in the automatic oiler to keep operations running smoothly.
Having the flywheel grinder on an uneven surface can lead to the table jamming. Use a level to guarantee that the machine is stable and ready to operate without hitches.
Electrical malfunctions may be the root cause of the table suddenly stopping or throwing the breaker. Safely power down the machine, open the electrical panel, and check for any visible issues such as frayed wires or loose connections. After rectifying these, reset the breaker and test the machine.
