.....Welp, minor delay.

decided to cut the top binding ledge on this piccolo today but the damn trim router wouldn't turn on.
checked the motor windings, they're okay. checked the brushes, its semi-decent. scratched my head for 30 minutes and was this close to tossing it and buying a new one until Aaron suggested to check the switch .  he was right....  years of gunk / dust build up..  she's back to working conditions. but the binding job is going to wait another day.
