      Ryan HallSep 10, 2025
      Excessive drill run out in your Ellis Power Tool can be caused by a bent drill, which requires replacement. Another cause can be chuck jaws not clamping evenly, in this case you should install the drill correctly. Worn spindle bearings can also cause run out, so you may need to replace the ball bearings.

      If your Ellis Power Tool drill bit is smoking or burnt, it could be due to several reasons: * The drill bit needs lubrication, so lubricate with cutting fluid. * The drill might be running in reverse; change the motor rotation. * The drill bit may be dull; sharpen or replace it. * The speed might be incorrect; adjust the speed accordingly. * Chips may not be coming out of the hole; retract the drill bit frequently to clear them out.

      If the spindle isn't rotating correctly on your Ellis Power Tool, the switch on the VS Control Box might be in the wrong position. Use the forward switch for standard drilling and cutting, and the reverse switch to retract a tap or when tapping for left-hand threads.

    Why Ellis Power Tool motor does not run?
    • V
      Virginia MooreSep 5, 2025
      The motor of your Ellis Power Tool might not be running due to several reasons: the power cord may not be properly plugged into the source, so ensure it is securely connected to a receptacle. The speed control box might not be turned on; push the “RUN” button. The speed knob may be in the “0” position; turn the knob clockwise to increase the speed. The main switch fuse could be blown, requiring a fuse replacement. The motor might be too hot, causing the heat switch to trip; wait for it to cool off. The power cord might be plugged into a GFCI protected outlet; plug it into an unprotected outlet, preferably a dedicated 20 amp, 115 VAC circuit. Ensure the power cord is plugged into the correct outlet (115V for a 115V machine, 230V for a 230V machine).
