Ask Steve a question. / Re: 788 dewalt

« on: November 12, 2016, 08:54:21 am »

Took it to service center and it was the motor.

Glad you got your saw fixed.

What i have found with the DW788's motor is that because it is totally enclosed, that is there is no openings for the carbon brush dust to leave that it will accumulate and eventually short our the commutator of the motor.  The fine carbon particles that get worn off the brushes will eventually accumulate between the fingers that the brushes ride on and cause shorts between the segments.  This is a fairly common problem with this type of motor.

I found your pattern.  It is on page 33 of the book called 300 Christian & Inspirational Patterns for Scroll Saw Woodworking 2nd edition by Tom Zieg.  Published by Fox Chapel Publishing.  The ISBN number is 978-1-56523-430-7.  Amazon.com has this book - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=978-1-56523-430-7

This probably will turn out to be the motor.  The electronic circuit board on the 788 is well designed and seldom goes bad short of something like a voltage spike from lightning or something like that.  That has been my experience any way.

Excellent Jim.  Looks like you have found a winner there.  This goes to show folks that it is not always the complicated, or large items that sell.  Love the fact that it uses up your scrap.  Thanks for sharing this with us, it is a great lesson to learn.
