Hi everyone,
I have a Craftsman 10" Miter saw, appx. 8-10 years old. This morning, it would only work intermittently. There was power to it, but when I depressed the switch it wouldn't work. A couple of second later, it would. Any advice? Thank you!

Brushes..very likely. When they start to wear out/stick in the housing, they can do that. Carefully take them out and see if they are burned or pitted from arcing.
