Hello my name is Matt and me and my Father John have just invested in a desktop cnc router setup. We bought this second hand of Ebay and as far as I am aware it's Chinese imported type 3040.
We intended to use in our workshop along with our other carpentry machines to make custom designed Plaques and decorative box's.

After getting my head around mach3 we successfully started our first engraving projects untill darkness struck and the spindle motor started emitting a popping sound and started to smoke and then blowing the fuse in the controll unit. After replacing the fuse the spindle motor would run fine in low speed but as I started to slowly increase the speed the same would happen again.

I have tried and tried again to source a new like for like spindle but with zero success and was wondering if any would be able to point us in the right direction.

Many Thanks
Matt & John
