X2 Mill motor Problem

Thanks for your replies, I'll look into the controller upgrade. Would be interested to hear from anyone else that has done the upgrade.

Update

Just thought I would post an update as it might help someone else out, It was the motor that was gone on my very little used X2, new price £195 delivered (too dear). After looking for a replacement with no luck I came across the C3 replacement motor on the Arc Euro Trade site, looked the same in the picture and all the dimensions are the same, so ordered it and it fit perfectly, you just have to take the 4 screws holding the front casing on and fit the mounting plate from the old motor. £65 for the motor delivered and it works perfect now, no tripping as soon as it spins up!

I've got a very similar problem to yours. How did you decide it was the motor at fault and not the control panel please. Don't want to spend money on the wrong thing if I can easily test them. Ian

Good luck with your query but this is 7 years old now . . .

Yes, didn't spot that until after I pressed the Post button. One of the problems with Googling for a topic! Have got some advice from elsewhere so starting the checks.

Waste of time the X2 if it has the 350w motor. My pot has gone screwy on one of them. Both my X2's are just sat there. Occasionally use the manual one for drilling holes. (they work but my Amat25 is sooooo much better).

You're prob better off buying one of these when it comes in:

Better travels, brushless, R8 (far superior).


Like, The X2 motor is £130, then it could be the board which is another £140, all adds up.
Must admit though, I did upgrade my manual one to metal gears. Thing will take your hand off now lol!.

Hi, wow that was a long time ago! I just went for the motor and for me that was the problem.

I have an Axminster Seig SX2 which does not want to play ball, it may run for 30 seconds but normally only 1 or 2

Any suggestions please .
