No problem JAK. I've got a couple of small Trend gadgets and had no problems with them. I'll contact them Monday morning and explain whats happening.
Big-all & Notch, yes was taking it gently going shallow and it was no problem on the scrap piece. Came to do it on the project piece and it cut one slot then died halfway along the first cut on the second slot. Hadn't worked it hard enough to get over heated, it just suddenly slowed down and, (I thought), stopped. Left it for a few minutes and just tried it in the air and it did the same. Thats when I noticed it doesn't stop completely but slows down to less than 100rpm While it was doing this I touched it with a bit of cardboard and it stopped but then carried on at the slow speed when I removed the cardboard. Pretty certain it will be the speed control as if it was the brushes it probably wouldn't get up to speed to begin with and a thermal cut-out usually starts it up again if left switched on. Been out swimming for a couple of hours and tried it when I came home. Still the same.
