Thread: surface grinder

Does anyone know a good place to get a spindle motor rewound and or repaired for my surface grinder, its a Jones and Shipman 1400 hydraulic. My factory is located at Ingleburn NSW.

Your local motor rewinder should be able to handle that.. Since it's the stator that you'll be rewinding not the rotor, balance shouldn't be an issue.

I have heard the term "electrically balanced" used when the discussion of precision grinders comes up on other forums.... Whatever that means...

Mal,

I have found Austin Electric Motor Repairs in Lidcombe helpful.
My only connection with them is as a customer. Two years ago they rewound an 850W 415V three phase two speed pole changing motor for me to the same configuration but 240V. I would think that is a somewhat uncommon ask, but they did a good job at a reasonable price (less than $300 incl GST).

Some years earlier an 1100W 3 phase buffing machine at work burned out, and they rewound that - clearly a bog standard job - similar price. We did not ask for fast service, and did not get it, but they seem reliable.

ATM I am awaiting another rewind quote from them - another european 2 speed motor to be rewound from 415 V to 240 - similar job, different machine.

Cheers,
Bill

Thanks,
I'll give Austin's a go when I've removed the motor, anyone think of anyone else reliable. I have several parts to make requiring a precision finish and the auto is a lot easier on my aging joints.
