Bench Drill died - any suggestions ?
HI Folks
Last year I bought a Clarke 5-speed bench drill from CPC. (Budget end of things, I know - but should be serviceable, I thought..) It has been very lightly used since then - probably not more than 1 - 2 hours total use and is installed in a dry, heated workshop. Just now it has refused to start - the motor buzzes, but it won't spin up to speed. When it was running a few moments before there was a slight 'roughness' in the sound of the motor - and, perhaps, a slight 'electric' smell - but, at the time it was running very lightly loaded - so I don;t think I'd have 'cooked' it. The official warranty is for 12 months (so that expired in April!) - so any suggestions as to anything I could check to maybe get it working again, please ? It has a 'two-button' NVR start-stop switch... I've contacted CPC and Clarke via email - but I'm not holding my breath g Thanks Adrian |
