I have a 2007 mini max 16 band saw and been having issues with the starting button sometimes it works sometimes it just hums. pulled the starter assembly out blew air clean it up still the same.
Is this mini max item or can I get what I need somewhere else? Any of you owners had e same problems

I have a 2005 MM16 and I'm on my 3rd switch

Some folks did have switch issues with that generation (and the previous) MM16. Those that failed early were replaced under warranty. The parts should be available from PartsPronto which is SCM/Minimax's parts operation.
