Woodmizer blade guide motor brushes question?

Thanks.  I wouldn't think that they would mind.  They just want us happy and sawing.

You are right.  I haven had an in/out switch to fail yet, but I remember exactly where I was, what I was sawing, and who was helping when that hydraulic microswitch failed. 

The fact remains though that I have had very few failures that have stopped me in my tracks. 

Me neither.  Thanks to WM tech support and to having spares on hand, I've never been down more than 1 hour (and most of that time the customer was looking for a 12V continuity tester).  Another time I was able to finish even with a torn hydraulic line.

I was in my NAPA store Monday.  I intended to buy one of those switches, but didn't.  The spring loaded return was too stiff

I "nudge" that guide arm in and out many times during a sawing day.  I'll stick with the WM switch.
