I don’t like flush hinges as I can never source the correct screws for them. Usually they don’t come with screws and if they do, they’re often terrible. So, where’s a good place to source small screws for flush hinges? I typically use 50mm flush hinges so the screws need to be roughly 3mm x 20mm...

After running it for a bit, it’s still broken. The saw turns on but sparks excessively and the thermal cut out kicks in regularly as there is too much resistance on the motor.

So, I took the motor apart but it looked like new inside. I couldn’t see any evidence of shorting (I would expect to have seen a black patch) so I put it back together and tried again. The blade turns freely but there was quite a lot of resistance on it. It turns on now and still sparks too...

Okay, I’ll give it a go. Worth a shot anyway and nothing to lose. Thanks

Thanks. I have messaged them.

I think it’s a shorted armature in the motor and will need to replace the motor. Any idea where I can get a new motor from, I have tried searching on the internet and can’t find anything.

It now works but is sparkly a lot again. Thoughts?

Yes, I have the manual but there isn’t anything in there that I can see which would help me. I have checked the overload button and that’s not the problem unfortunately.

I have checked and the commutator is clearly visible when I take the brushes out. I turned it on today and it started but turned itself off immediately again. The brushes weren’t seated correctly so I have tried to seat them better - basically they unseat themselves when I try to screw the cap...

I’ll double check tomorrow to make sure but yes, I’m sure I could see the commutator when I removed the brushes. I can understand why this would cause the sparking but would it stop it from turning on now? I don’t think there’s any power going to the motor. Is there a fuse I can check and if...

I’m trying to build a matching cabinet but the face frame has a 1/4” bead and I cannot find a 1/4” bead router bit anywhere. The closest I have found is 3/8. Where can I buy a 1/4” bead router bit?

I have a Scheppach HS105 table saw that I bought secondhand a few months ago. It seemed in good condition and until now has been working well. I used it to cut down a bit of studwork and I ended up braking the saw: The blade clearly was blunt (it had been fine for the MDF that I have cut a lot...
