Noisy CNC control box fan

Post by Phil »

I had an odd humming noise when I started up my Shopbot control box. I posted this on the Shobot forum and it was suggested that a fan in the control box might be the issue. I thought that I had resolved the problem by blowing out the dust. The noise came back. I found a fix on Youtube that appears to be working. I was able lubricate the fan bearing. Not difficult.

I would order a back up, It will fail again if you already heard the bearings twice.
