    Horizon 2 motor spinning slowly, when it spins at all. Already replaced motor.

    Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem here? I originally thought the motor was bad but I replaced it and it still either doesn't spin at all, or it spins slowly at roughly a few hundred RPM. My lab is currently shut down. Thanks!

    Not a lab man but it sounds like an electrical problem. Are the brushes contact ok?

    Years ago I brought my motor to a place that reconditions them when the bearings started to scream. They were very impressed with how fast the Bosch motor was as they are basically a router motor.
