I have a Prolight mill and my spindle motor is starting to act up... ( every once in a while it will drastically drop the RPM's down for a couple of seconds in the middle of milling a piece, and then it will rev back up to normal RPM's again and continue on as normal ) I replaced the brushes and that seemed to help a bit for a while, but now it's doing it again )
So I've decided to look for a replacement spindle motor, but I'm not having much luck finding one.
I'm open to the idea of installing a different retrofit spindle motor, but just need some suggestions on what would be a good replacement option.
I'm ok with fabricating a new top plate to mount a new motor.
Currently it has a Baldor motor
Frame: 25
HP 1 TE
180v DC
5.3 amp
Duty 1 HR
Type: PM
The RPM on the plate doesn't have anything listed..
Thanks much....
