Son of a gun~!
I was cleaning up the mess from having cobbled together and tried so many different things from trying to get the CNC mill running a coolant pump that it never occurred to me to check the old pump after I relaced the fuse.
I just ASSUMED that since I saw some smoke that it was the magic smoke from *inside* the motor. Turns out that it wasn't. It was the coolant oil that had gotten on the motor during use that was burning off. This pump still runs great. Sunuvabitch.
Now I gotta figure out what to do with this pump... (:>) Doesn't do oil well in its original configuration, but pumps water based coolants very well. Maybe I'll adapt it to the Clausing Turret lathe....
