Today, Kevin planed the Router table surface. It needed it.
Thanks, Kevin.
During the first half of the resurface job, the e-stop tripped a dozen times.
We fiddled with the switches and reset so many times, I finally disconnected the e-stop wiring at the panel.
With the pull cable switch out of the circuit, there were no e-stops for the second half of the resurface job.
So the diagnosis seems clear.
During Sunday warden hours, I’ll experiment with the circuit to see if the intermittent e-stop jitters can be cured or if we need to rethink the e-stop mechanism.
The easiest fix may be a stronger tension spring on the e-stop pull. It seemed very weak today.
If anyone wants to get checked out on the Laser, Mill or Lathe please drop by during Warden Hours.
