Well, I went to use my bead roller for the first time with a project in mind.
Low and behold, the darn thing was all over the place with stops and starts intermittently, it drove me nuts.
Being that I have the electronic VFD speed controller fitted and this area is my weak point, I figured it just had to be in there some where...
I took out my setting manual and ran thru all the parameters to check that nothing had changed.
Scratching my head, since I was sure it was going to be the tricky stuff that was playing, I decided to look at the next weal link, being the foot pedal since that controls all the stopping and starting.
I removed it from the unit and dis-assembled it on the bench, I was familiar with it as I had wired it up.
Once apart, I discovered that the pedal mechanism that triggers a small switch was not set up correctly during manufacture, I did a quick mounting modification and all is good now.
The switch now has a built in adjustment which can easily be corrected at any time.
Cheap Chinese junk, well not really, it seems sturdy enough, but just a few more seconds of thought would ensure perfection...
So on with my project now.
