Got one of these from Ken Rizza a couple of years ago and love it. Yesterday, it started throwing sparks from around the motor. Disassembled and discovered the brushes were gone!! Called their customer service and surprise- they had replacements in stock! Even more surprising they were only $5.00!!! They will be shipped out Monday. Notice the business end of this machine has all metal gearing and beefy bearings. Really well made. If you have one of these older styles, maybe a set of brushes on hand might be a good thing.

A good article on the subject. FWIW, Mitch has taught finishing and touch up at a place in Minnesota for many years. One of the touch up teachers I had with Mohawk was trained by him. I really had to chuckle at the opening line (Reminded me of Steve Mickley's "polyoneverythane" line) Recently I was asked to judge a woodworking show. One of the best pieces was a wonderfully constructed grandfather clock. Unfortunately, a quick brushing of polyurethane ruined the clock’s appearance. The clock’s creator said he chose polyurethane for protection. But how durable does a coating on a grandfather clock have to be? Why put a finish originally designed for floors on a beautiful clock?
