I've read numerous articles about the cut motor but haven't seen one that specifically addresses my particular issue. In November, the last time I used my CW, I was trying to cut a lithograph on my rotary jig (PVC pipe). It worked fine, but was a little too deep, so I modified the pattern and started over. From that time on the cut motor won't spin...not when I change the bits, not when the display says it is carving the pattern. I ran the tests on the machine and it thinks the cut motor is running, but it isn't.
I'm not afraid to tear the machine apart to replace faulty parts, but at less than 250 hrs. that doesn't seem like the thing to do yet. To answer a few questions in advance, Yes, I've taken the top cover off. Yes, I've checked the clear cover switches on both sides. Yes, I've checked the wire connections. All seem to be in order.
Any ideas what might be going on?
