Gutless Makita R/O sander

Jan 19, 2007 0 Replies

Hi all,



Any ideas as to why my Makita random orbit sander, which I dearly love, would have become absolutely gutless ???



I took it apart to examine the brushes but they seemed fine. While I had the cover off I also cleaned the commutator. No change at all.



With no load it revs right up but if you set it lightly on a piece of wood the darn thing stalls.



Thinking about it now, I think I put new brushes in it two or three years ago.



Wha hoppen ???



Thanks much,



Perk (:>)
