HI Geoff,
Have you tried Minitech in Qld or Carbatec in any state? They both carry the X2 mill.
According to a recent email with Sieg, Minitech are their Australian distributor.
Check out the minimill group on Yahoo. There a guy in the US who repairs the power supply boards.

Thanks for the info Geoff .
I have sent a msg to Carbatec asking if they can repair or replace my Power Supply .
and thanks again .

hi
I know where there are some spare boards for X3,s they may be the same but would need to be adujsted to suit the lower power motor of the X2
if you have no luck with the distributor let me know. if you could post a photo of the board i can confirm if they are the same.

Are you quite sure that you haven't just blown the motor fuse?

Hi Guys , thanks for your interest and willingness to help . My hobby activities have come to a standstill and i`m beside myself with misery
C.R. , I`m aware of only 1 fuse , the little glass one at the control panel , and that last time i used it , was milling Ali lightly loaded with a sharp 4 flute E/M . and it was running fine then .
rgee , here is my board pics , but plz dont waste much time as i will probly try a local electronics boffin i found .



Hey tumutbound , your not a sawmiller are you ?
..... and Carbatec have not responded yet .

and i forgot to mention , my friend who told me of this electronics boffin says " the guy insists on a circuit diagram for the PCB ", so i looked in the Manual , and it only shows the wiring connections , so i`m wondering if anyone has it , or , can i get the circuit diagram online ? Thanks .

Hi Guys , My new PCB arrived today and i just finished installing it , and she is as good as new .
I got it from Carbatec in Brisbane for $165 + $8 P&P.
So i`m real happy again now , so thanks for all your help , especially tumutbound .
