You the man, Hu! Yep, insufficient coolant was the problem. New cutters arrived today, so I got all messy and cut some ali. All I have at the mo is the pump oil can, so I used that to flood the piece, being careful so as not to get fluid in the motor.
The missus has cleared out the cupboard today though, and low and behold, she has tossed out a wet/dry vacuum cleaner. I'm thinking of taking out the water pump and tubing and perhaps rigging up a coolant delivery system. Any thoughts on this? |
