I guess it's my turn now with the cut motor. I changed the cut motor brushes and had no issues (done it before). After that is when my issues started. The cut motor doesn't turn on while the initial set up is taking place with the bits. I double checked to ensure the cut motors wires were connected at the lid since I took it off to change the brushes.... all good. I then went back in and opened up the connection point on the lid cover to make sure there was no sawdust. There was a little, cleaned it and still the motor won't run when I do the Cut Motor test. Although it says it's running, nothing is happening. I've checked the flex shaft and turn the spindle by hand and can see that the motor is turning and don't hear any unusual noises. I've disconnected/reconnected the cannon plug at the cut motor and the other end and all looks fine. If I swap out the cut motor with my other machine and nothing changes, what is the likely culprit?
And.......... I have another CW and it's running OK right now (changed the brushes in that one too), but I'm starting to notice some issues happening. It runs, but I'm seeing that at times the bit is not touching the bit plate or a few minutes ago I saw the carving bit had gone too deep after carving for 15mins. Machine stopped and said to check/clean Y rails. Maybe I cleaned it too good. LOL Any suggestions? Here I thought I had only 1 "Shenita" CW (She needa this and she needa that). I guess I may now have a "Shegotta" CW too. Any suggestions are appreciated.
