Discussion for the DeWALT DW151 Type 1 Magnetic Drill Press
I'm currently working on a DW151 drill press,when plugged in the power lite comes on as it should but when I press the switch for the drill motor to run it just keeps blinking, I took the front face off exposing the control board and switches from behind,and tried a different motor on the controls and it does the same thing as mentioned previously..(could the board be the prob? nothing on the board looks swollen or discolored.
any feed back would be welcomed.
