    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    Yes. I've read some posts about the grizzly machines and it almost seems like grizzly is throwing everything at their customers to get them going again. One guy I saw got 2 speed controllers at once just in an effort to make sure he was taken care of!

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    Surprisingly enough I haven't blown 1. The wiring schematics in my manual that came with it are different than the wiring diagram on the machine. Different then what is actually in the machine. Also different than the grizzly model. The parts between the grizzly and this one are identical aside...

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    I'm really hoping this treadmill works out. I'd love to have the money to buy some of these things but being 25 and having a 3 year old takes quite the hit on my wallet. Hopefully it is something I can get him into!

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    I don't want to bash on busy bee but they have been absolutely useless. I get the run around in calgary. I get the number for customer service in their main store and he is one of the most ignorant people I have ever encountered. I asked for someone else's number or email and I get a chuckle, a...

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    I will let you know how it goes. I may have some trouble with mounting the motor but I'm sure I will figure something out. I was shocked to see how many people are getting rid of their perfectly good treadmills. 4 new ones came up today alone.

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    I grabbed a free functional treadmill off of kijiji tonight. After I go thru everything I'm confident I should be able to get it to do something. The motor is 4.25 hp so if it works it will be a substantial upgrade :)

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    I originally had the cover on the top but after the first motor went I left it off. If I could put my hand on the motor and be able to leave it there I didn't think it could be hot enough to cause any failure issues. Do you know if the treadmill route would require anything additional to...

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    Ideally Option (a) would be the first pick. But if I want to continue any metalworking in the foreseeable future I need to work with what I have. I want to completely gut the electronics in the machine and put in some type of brush-less motor with a matching controller. I'm not overly...

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    The G0758 is similar to the machine I replaced. This is the current one. I am also limited to 120v power due to renting.

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    The thing that frustrates me the most about this situation is that my CX600 is supposed to be the replacement option for the CX612 I purchased there a few months prior to the CX600. The CX612 had both of the t-slots pull right out of the table. Its either that or the fact that they expect me to...

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    Hello, So I purchased a Craftex CX600 back on August 28, 2017. My machine has become nothing but a nightmare. In this short time I have had the following happen, 1. Motor failed. It all checked out good when measuring resistance. The magnets were still fixed to the case. I tried new bearings...

    Prussian Blue in Calgary

    Hey, I'm wanting to do a bit of scraping on my milling machine but am struggling to find any Prussian Blue in Calgary. Does anywhere know where I can find it in Calgary or know of an alternative product that I can use?
