  If your Southbend Tools machine doesn't start, there are several potential solutions: * Rotate the button clockwise until it pops out, and replace it if needed. * Ensure the electrical box door is closed and securely latched, then switch the main power on. * Replace the main power switch. * Check for good contacts and correct wiring. * Verify that the hot lines have the correct voltage on all legs and that the main power supply is switched on. * Correct any motor wiring connection issues. * Replace a faulty ON button or spindle direction switch. * As a last resort, replace the motor.

  Christina MillerAug 8, 2025
  If your Southbend Tools machine stalls or is overloaded, consider the following: * Use smaller or sharper tooling. You may also need to reduce the feed rate and spindle speed, and consider using coolant. * Eliminate workpiece binding by using a vise or clamps to ensure proper workpiece alignment control. * Use a sharp and correct cutting tool for the operation. * Test for good contact and correct any wiring problems, ensuring hot lines have the correct voltage on all legs. * Test the shaft rotation; grinding or a loose shaft may require bearing replacement. * Clean off the motor, allow it to cool, and reduce the workload. * If all else fails, replace the motor.
