I'll keep an eye on it. I expect some sparks (nature of the beast), but
this was a rather large one that filled the motor chamber. Now it only
does it when I let go of the switch before it's come up to speed. (I'm
curious now. If it starts again I'll have to put an ammeter on there,
take a few readings, then clean the brushes.)



My Delta does it, at night with a not so well lit garage the motor becomes
pretty lit up when I release the switch.
