Sometimes while drilling large holes on the mill, or hogging too fast on the lathe, the motors will stall.
I quickly retreat, and the motor returns to full speed.
I'm wondering, do repeated stalls cause any damage to electric motors?
Usually 3-4 stalls per day.
(I know, I know.... "Quit feeding it so hard!!!")
Mill motor is 1 horse, 240v. Single phase, Baldor
