I have burnt out the motor on my Kress 1050 FME-1 by inadvertently overloading it.
Would anyone know if it is possible or cost effective to repair please? Since I have invested in many collets and bracket clamps etc..
Practical advice greatly appreciated.

Probably not cost-effective I wouldn't have thought where did you get it from? Just wondering if they can supply parts from another broken doner unit...
I've got a spare custom (bored) SK type mount for the kress units if anyone needs one, £15, dunno what the postage will be.Last edited by Lee Roberts; 11-06-2019 at 11:57 AM.

Lee - I bought it new. So will probably chop it to use a remote belt drive motor so as to utilise the mount, spindle head and collets!!
£250 down the drain just because I forgot the minus when zeroing the bed offset to save the spoilboard.
Do`nt programme when you are tired

Nightmare, going for a DIY brushless motor kind of thing or something else?

Well the exercise was to to push a Z axis forward in order to machine from a vertical table at the machine front. That`s why I used the Kress instead of the w/c 2200 for lightness in the overhang. But just resurrected a Quick Step milling attachment and currently cadding a mount. Surprisingly versatile! It fits like it was made to be. Naturally needs to extend forward to fit in. Just like to know the motor power, but details are scarce.
