Well, it seems like my brushes just burned up. I’m only about 3 projects in. I’m working on a prototype and had intentions on buying 3 more xcarves within the next 2 months, but now I’m starting to second guess whether i need to change all together. I had a friend who runs a cabinet business adjust mine for the right chip count to save on wear and tear. I was running less than half the speed. Definitely expected more out of Dewalt, but I’m not surprised
