I am highly disappointed that there is no end in sight for new brushes. I have not been able to use my machine since August, I'm going into my 4th month of not being able to use this. I've had a lot of orders canceled and projects on hold with angry customers. They haven't even gone as far as offering me a new motor at a discounted price. I'm sorry but I cannot pay $170 plus shipping for a new motor for 250 hours of service. This needs to come along quicker than it is. At some point you are going to have hundreds of machines sitting idle. I am truly upset that I have spent thousands of dollars on this machine and its literally a boat anchor right now. Its time you start pulling brushes from new warehoused motors and giving at least one per machine serial number or buy back this machine at full paid price. I feel for those who have loaned out brushes and will not be able to get their own machines back up soon. Just sad all the way around. Step up CW and get this fixed please, I'm sure you can afford to pay a company to specially make brushes for you. There are hundreds of motor companies on the market that do, you can too.
