Thank you....I'll give that a try

First: be sure your bit is high enough to move over any obstruction. Then: Type "J2" (NO QUOTATION MARKS!) This tells the machine you want to Jog 2...

Depending on the era and equipment, it could be the contactor. And electromagnetic contactor whose coil is getting weak can hum or chatter and will...

Yup that was the problem. Thanks

That is a old post. I regret that the router motors that I had for sale are all sold. Sorry...
