Guess I'm paying for having time to carve things, machine stopped in the middle of a cutout of 4 items for Easter. Ended up being a bad cut motor. Tried brushes first with no luck, then removed it totally and tried running it on the bench with no luck. Pulled it apart and found an open winding, all my previous failures were brushes. What really ticked me off is naturally it quit while in the wood and snapped the cutting bit, Another $ gone and then I had to cut three items out on the scroll saw. At least I have backup and can hopefully finish the projects.
