I recently purchased this mill and have only turned it on 3 or 4 times and the switch has failed. It will start the motor but it won't stay running. Any ideas on a replacement?

That sounds like the belt cover sensor switch up top needs to be adjusted. Also, if the belt cover is open it won't stay running.
 
What an idiot I am. I forgot to snug that up after painting, thank you so much!
 
Yeah, I did the same thing. I took mine apart to move it into the basement. It would spin up while I held the button but as soon as I let go it would stop. Took me a while to figure it out. Glad I could help.
