Hi All,
Am in the process of building a power feed for my Grizzly G8689 mini mill. Got it almost done but as always thinking as I build and have a few questions that I need some help with if possible.
First off I was thinking that maybe I should be installing a fuse to the motor to protect the electronics if there is a motor stall. If I were to add a fuse would I put it in the main motor power feed wire? Also if I do I was going to go with a 5 Amp fuse as that is what they have in the motor on the mill motor. The motor is a 12 volt seat motor.
Next off after getting this together I'm thinking it would be nice to have a jog switch installed as well. Has anyone done this and if you did how did it get wired into the motor feed? Not sure how to wire this up because the power feed has forward and reverse switch. Don't know if this would have to be bypassed to wire up the jog switch.
Thanks John
