III) Models Built from 1987 to Present
The present model VCWS14 motor is suspended from the table and is fastened with a metal
bracket. Two nylon bolts with rubber ends pass through the bracket and fasten tightly against
the back of the motor housing. Loosen the nuts on both nylon bolts with a 9/16" wrench.
Remove the motor bracket from the table using a 7/16" wrench. The motor is now held in
place with two Allen set screws located on the pedestal between the motor and the red wheel.
Loosen both set screws using an 1/8" Allen wrench. Cut the blue, yellow, and green wires
about half way between the motor and control box. Slide the motor out of the pedestal. Strip
about 1/2 inch of insulation from the three cut wires from the control box. Connect these wires
to the same colored wires on the new motor with the wire nuts provided. Slide the new motor
into the pedestal and tighten the Allen set screws. Remount the motor bracket rotating the red
wheel as necessary to line up the motor. Tighten the nylon bolts against the motor housing.
Check for play in the motor by rocking the red wheel back and forth. If the motor also rocks,
the nylon bolts need to be tightened. After the motor is secure, turn the table over and remount
the microswitch. Refer to part 1A to prepare the work sample for use.
3D SET SCREW TIGHTENING PROCEDURES
If the red wheel slips it is necessary to tighten the pedestal set screws. To find the pedestal
look under the table. The motor is connected to the red wheel with the pedestal. Two set
screws fasten the pedestal to the motor shaft. Turn the red wheel counter clock-wise until one
of the set screws can be accessed. Tighten the set screw with an 1/8" Allen wrench. Turn the
table on and let the wheel rotate until the other set screw can be accessed. Turn the table off
and tighten the second set screw. Refer to part 1A to check the wheel for slippage. Repeat the
above procedure until the wheel stops slipping.
