Hopefully the Moderators will allow this post. I am asking for assistance in locating a replacement for the module, not for assistance in modifying the components within the module.
I don't know where to start to find a replacement for the module pictured.
Basically I bought a pillar drill 9 years ago because it was on special offer, and I /knew/ for what I wanted to follow for hobbies it would come in useful. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get together enough space to put it up until now (seems like I have managed to bodge around the problem for too long).
So I plugged it in, turned it on, left it going for the 15 minute run in period the instructions suggest, then drilled my first hole. No probs. Drilled the second hole no problems either.
Came to the third hole, and the power button wouldn't latch on.
Took it apart (warranty ran out 8 years ago, woops), and in the switch module, one of the wires looked corroded. It was meant to be a multistrand wire, but the strands going into one of the solder pads had just become a green lump instead. The other end of that wire wasn't looking too good either (this was just placed against a coil of copper threads). This wire was used to attach to what I believe is a magnetic induction coil, which was used to hole the on button into place.
So what I am looking for, is a complete switch replacement module. The current one has 4 crimp terminals (2 in 2 out for isolation of the 240VAC). This module is after the live wire fuse.
These modules must be common for use within machinery, so does anyone know a good place (in the UK?) where I can obtain one?
Dimensions roughly 40x35x25 mm.
This module is situated within a plastic enclosure within the drill press. Hopefully someone can assist with locating a supplier, as the alternatives I can think of are blanking the original switch area, and installing an external one (I guess if done properly [panic switch on bench type of thing], wouldn't be so bad, but I would rather not, and I am not asking for ideas on that in here)
The module is marked, KJD6 5E4 T85, putting the first two into google comes up with lots of information on the manufacturer of the module, and distributors talking about how to buy 1000s for your next new invention, but I only want the 1.
