Ok guys I am in essence a shade tree machinist. I really like making stuff in my shop but I have a question and can not seem to find out answer. My mill has the magnetic on/off witch with the forward and reverse attached to the side of it. The switch will not stay in the on position by itself. I ended up by passing the safety switch that was on the side of the mill just to see if the safety switch was bad but the on switch will still not stay engaged by itself. Is my switch bad or am I overlooking something else in the machine.

Thanks for any help I appreciate it.
