I was using my new machine that I purchased a few months ago for the first time yesterday to sharpen some wood turning tools.
After some time of running the machine (about the time I was ready to start honing) The motor began to slip and stop. I noted how hot the motor gets, yikes!.
So, I assumed I had gotten the honing goop onto the drive system and took the wheel off the unit. I found that the drive wheel had actaully melted onto the drive shaft and the inner portion of the honing wheel was very sticky.
I waited for some time, removed the black from the drive shaft, cleaned off the drive wheel, and reassembled the unit with the same result.
I re-read the manual and noted that some of your older machines state that you can run the motor for no more than 30 minutes at a time, although this unit is brand new.
Please advise your thoughts on how to proceed because I have a lot of tools waiting to be sharpened...
Thanks & Regards,
rob
