Just got my mill from the local harbor freight, and boy is it a mess. I've started the process of breaking it down and cleaning it up, but its gonna take a while. One thing I have noticed is that the motor seems to hesitate and jerk a lot at medium to low speed. YOu can even here it at top speed, just not as bad. Thinking it was just sand and crap in the gear box, I pulled the motor out and it still does it when the motor is spinning free. I pulled the brushes and made sure they were clean and dry(they were) but it just won't run smooth. Is this one of the "features" of a cheap chinese mill, or did I just end up with an extra special mill?
