[charlieuk]

HELP! I think I have had it 3 year maybe with varying amounts of use and a few intermittent problems along the way however it has just given the big white puff of smoke!

question is what to replace it with? another Chinese one I got from chai or something else?

need to act fast though as I have work waiting.

I have ordered on from cnc4u as the can get itvto me this week just need to find out why it blew, I noticed a flash come from the plug on the spindle so I assume it was something that end, I found a scorch mark to prove this on the plug

I'll have to try order a spare when I get some cash back in.
