    Long story short, Tom Brady had me hyped up so I thought I could take a 10mm depth of cut in some oak. Rooter11 thought otherwise and entire machine shut down like Green Bay. Now my PSU won't power up. I took the case off, checked continuity across the fuse and it checked out. Thought it might have continuity because it was reading back from the entire circuit so I tried to take the fuse out to isolate it. Shattered instantly. I've got another one on order (10A 250V?) but I'm not convinced it's the fuse.

    If I replace the fuse and it still doesn't power up is the PSU garbage?

    Hi Rhett,
    Tom Brady persuaded you to cut OAK at 10mm depth?. That guy sure has awesome mystical powers :).

    I would guess that stalling the router like that sent a huge current flow through it so maybe that got damaged as well? Let's hope not!
    Don't know what type your power supply is but if it uses a bridge rectifier, that may be damaged but could be anything of course. If you do replace the fuse, disconnect everything before powering up. Other guys here may have some input on your particular power supply.
    You may need to check the alignment and tram your machine as well.
