Saturday afternoon and only 3 more tiles to cut (900x450 tough porcs). My Makita grinder came to a halt.
I rang the builder to find if anyone was near me, but it was 15:30 and nobody in the area. So I drove the 1hour round trip back home to pick up an old corded one to finish the job.
I started looking for a replacement at a cost of about £100 for the body only, but then googled grinder faults. Came across a typical fault of the brushes needing replacing. So I ordered a £3.59 set of new brushes and they arrived today. Simple swap over and hey presto, a working grinder.
