KeystoneChuck 4 Posted June 5, 2014 Can anyone tell me where this wire is supposed to be attached to. I was cutting today and all of a sudden the up and down stopped on the blade. The cutter continues to go through all of the motions just does not go up or down. I opened the lid and found this wire just laying there. Any help would be appreciated.

KeystoneChuck 4 Posted June 5, 2014 Yes, I found broken terminal with flash light. I touched bare end to terminal and it works perfectly. Now to solder (yikes, I can mig, tig, and stick weld very well but I can't solder to save my life) Happy I can fix without having to buy parts, sad because this is a brand new (3 months old) carriage assemble. I shouldn't break that soon if ever. I said it before if there wasn't this forum and guys like yourself to help at all kinds of crazy hours, I would have booted this cutter years ago. A machine is only as good as the support it gets. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeystoneChuck 4 Posted June 5, 2014 That pic will be me tomorrow if I can't get the stupid solder to flow/hold. Two things I admittedly can not do...solder and teflon tape on pipe threads. I think its my sausage fingers that get in the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted June 5, 2014 The key to soldering is using flux when you solder. Makes a world of difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
