Mr.Fudd, How is your friend Bugs? Unfortunately I have buried the table saw in the new mezzanine. The next time I am up there I will look. If I remember correctly there was a plate with screws holding the bearing end of the armature. There were also screws running through the body of the motor holding the opposite end on. It is normally best to remove the bearing end first. I don't know why I didn't show that part in the video. You may have to separate the motor case to get everything out. If you haven't done it before watch out if there are brushes or not. These carbon segments can get stuck and make it very difficult to get the armature back in..
I just went to the end of the video and worked back. I show the installation of the armature. If you reverse the order it should work. If the bottom bearing is stuck you can pull up gently on the fan as close to the shaft as possible. Or you can pry up on the fan with a screwdriver on each side of the shaft. If that doesn't work try a little heat on the plastic. Then lift or pry, it should pop out.
ineresting video! Do you have any tips on diagnosing? I have a table saw (skilsaw 3102) that won't turn on. Supposedly the switch often breaks, but it is fine. There are only 2 leads on the switch. videos I watched all had 3-4 wires going to switch, but I'm guessing that means mine is simpler. Should I detect a circuit when I test the wires going into the switch? Because I do not. Please help! So far I've just turned the thing upside down. I am hesitant to dismantle the whole thing without knowing what to look for.
Carter, thanks for watching. It looks like your saw is a table top unit. It should be using a universal motor. Does it start if you tap the motor? Or carefully start the blade and then operate the switch? Use some wood. These motors have lots of torque. Is there a humming sound at any time? You could check the cord to the switch with an ohmmeter. You can get a useable meter for about 20 $,£,€ depending where you live if you dont have one. Check each wire from the plug to the switch. You could also look to see if there is a red reset button anywhere in the circuit, including on the motor. Good luck.
@@notfactoryapproved Thank You! No, I get NO response. I haven't tried to turn the blade with the power on - The blade does not turn without constant heavy pressure so I can't just "start" it spinning, but I would have heard SOMETHING if it was getting power and stuck. By "cord to switch" do you mean check from the power plug to the switch? I actually think this is a pretty low quality saw - At first glance I thought "This looks like a hand saw they cut the handle off of and clamped inside a steel box." Then I saw a guy write a review who said "This looks like a hand saw they cut the handle off of and clamped inside a steel box." After he dismantled it. I'm guessing there's some fried wires in there. It's funny, I walked by that thing every other day as a kid, impressed with my dad's fancy saw.
Nice
I was trying to see how you separated the armature assy..
