Need help on my Bridgeport series 1 cnc. I finished a part on the machine and went to turn the spindle back on and it will not start. Everything else works fine. I read in the manual and all it says is to check lube level and its full and switch is working fine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You will need the electrical schematic, what type of spindle? DC, AC, AC with VFD?
Does it have an overload on the contactor that needs resetting?

Check the overload reset on the spindle contactor. It's usually on the upper left side of the rear box looking from the front.
