Hi, if anyone is interested, Roy is going to be along in a while to take me through the steps of checking to see if I have a duff armature!! jon.

If anyone can take me through the steps, i'll fetch the armature in and clamp meter so i've got it in front of me. jon.

Hi, the clamp meter i have say's it can check, AC voltage, AC current, resistance, continuity test and insulation test. No good? jon.

Good afternoon, I've just taken out the armature and all the connections to the com. are in good order and the resin insulation around the windings looks sound. Before spending money on a new armature, can it be comfirmed that the armature is the problem and not the outer windings of the motor...

Roy, I have a clamp meter, will this work? jon.

Thanks for everyone's help, I'll have to take it to my nearest Dewalt service centre to get a true dianosis of the problem. The saw stands me at £30, so any repairs costing over £70 just doesn't seem worth while. it's a shame really because this was a terrific saw with good cutting capacities. jon.

The best part of £100 for an armature! There is I believe, something that electrical engineers can do with the commuator, I think they can skim off a layer in a special lathe to refresh it. I would just like to point out though, the brushes are really soft, you could easily scrape a gouge in...

Bob, the saw is the DW 705, same as the 703 but with a 12 inch blade. It's been replaced with the DW706. The guy I bought it from say's he bought it two years ago and hardly used it. He did say that he left it outside one day when it started raining but it still worked OK for months after. jon.

Thanks for the reply's. The brushes are still over half inch long and I can tell the saw hasn't seen serious use so i'm assuming it's not the brushes. The commuator was very black and I cleaned it up with a scouring pad to a shiny polished finish and tried it again but same as. Really exessive...

Best wishes, jonathn.

Hello, Sorry to sabotage the thread but while we are on the subject of motors, I have just bought a Dewalt mitre saw off ebay for £30 and the brushes are making far too many sparks, the saw will run when the trigger is depressed but something is definitely not right. Any ideas as to what may be...

Certainly!, On opening the box, all parts complete with nothing missing. Table covered in the usual slime and nothing broken or damaged. I once used a Ryobi RT6000 a while ago and wasn't that impressed by it. The fence set up and sliding table unit seemed a little clunky and since then, I have...

Strangely, they have a collet listed for all Bosch routers exept the GOF2000CE, but thanks for the info Chas, much appreciated. It seems i'll have to order one from Bosch via my local suppliers. cheers, jonathan.

Does anyone know of a cheap supplier of router collets? I'm wanting a 1/2 inch collet and nut for my Bosch gof 2000 CE. thanks, jon.

Hello, I collected one of the cast iron router tables from woodford today and have to say that the table is superb. Twice the machine of the Ryobi RT6000 and the Record power one and at half the cost. Roy at Woodford is a true gent and made it clear that if I wasn't happy with anything or the...

For the price of £160, it does arrise suspicions but as i'm going to collect it, i'll give it a quick once over to check. jonathan.

I have the Axminster ADE2200 and the Record DX4000. Both machines are exellent but the Record is so damm noisy that I don't switch it on as often as i'd like to really. The ADE2200 is a superb extractor for the tablesaw and planer/thicknesser. I dropped lucky and got a fine filter cartridge off...

Hello, I'm buying a cast iron router table from Woodford tommorrow and wanted to ask if anyone has got one and if it's any good? cheers, jonathan.

Thanks for the reply Dan. Binks are now part of Devilbis so they must be a decent gun. jonathan.

Hello, after buying or wasting my money on so called professional spray guns by makers like Draper and sealey, I've decided to spend a little more on something of a much higher quality and got a brand new Binks suction feed high pressure gun from Ebay and just wanted to ask if anyone had any...
