Hi Guys, I have had a similar problem. Motor was not running good so
I replaced the brushes(old ones were worn out after inspecting them) and when
I hit the power switch nothing!!! Power switch was good as well as the breaker.
The last thing I did was(with the power off of course) spin the motor a bit by pulling
on the belt(did not have to take the case off as you can find a small opening that will
let a couple of fingers in to advance the motor by pulling on the belt).

MUCH TO MY SURPRISE BAM!!!! I pulled the switch She is up and running again.

After all that it was a 5 second fix...LOL!

Welcome to the forum, Will! There's no way I could have done that with mine. 'Cause if I had done that I wouldn't have ended up with a veneer press and a new DeWalt 735! :no: :laugh:

Beginning to sound like you may end up with that combo anyway.

So, I failed to note the timeline on all this. What was the final outcome?

I haven't looked at this thread in a long time, Jon, and thought the repurposing was included, but it's in this thread - Repurposed planer into veneer press

My apologies, it turns out I read the "outcome" post as well. But that was oh so long ago in my memory banks.��

Thanks
