    Use a vice grip clamp to hold the spinning part

    I have the same problem with the same wire cupping wheel. Lock button is broke too. I’m going to grind a slot in the spindled arbor to hold the shaft while I break the nut free. Wish me luck!

    Treat yourself to a Hitachi brother, it'll be life changing! The button presses a little pin into a gear, you need to pull it apart to remove the sheared pin from the gearbox or the whole thing will self destruct next time you run it, a while it's apart (the 4 screws next to your weld) you can put the big gear in the vice with rag to protect it and heave all you like on the brush

      @turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 6 років тому +1

      What's wrong with the Scottish? Think Hitachi are Japanese anyway, even their budget grinders are silky smooth and bomb proof

    once i was trying to get a wheel off a large makita and i let go of the button while leaning my weight on the wrench/wheel and the pen shot across the room i found it and got it back in just keep your hand on the button while turning

    well that sucks.Maybe pull it apart to see if there is anything inside you can get to that will help. Otherwise see what is in there and if you want anything before you throw it out.

    • @FargoFX
      @FargoFX  6 років тому

      scottecooke Yeah, I’m kind of looking forward to dissecting it, I like taking things apart and see what’s inside anyway. If I had a really good slow-motion camera I would take it out and shoot it with my deer rifle… Probably get 100,000 hits on that video. LOL.

    • @scottecooke
      @scottecooke 6 років тому

      you could shoot it anyway. I would still watch.

    Time for a new one man lol. Go for the dewalt best grinder ive ever had An im not nice to mine 😂 but still works great

    • @FargoFX
      @FargoFX  6 років тому +1

      backyardbladesmith Good call, I’ve been looking at those DeWalt grinders for a while. Definitely on my wish list.

  • @theonetheonlyw5483
    @theonetheonlyw5483 6 років тому +1

    Best to get a new one, and research it a lot. You can get a rebuild kit I'm sure, but the cost+time= just buy a new one.

    • @FargoFX
      @FargoFX  6 років тому

      TheOneTheOnly W The nice thing about having a UA-cam channel, I can always order a new one and whether it’s good or bad, I can do a review. LOL. Of course, when you get into power tools, it can turn into quite a bit of investment.

    Looks like it might be time to bust out the jig saw to extract the cleaver from that plate.

    • @philreindl424
      @philreindl424 6 років тому +1

      ps, I've got a 5" variable speed Makita angle grinder. A++ would buy again.

    • @FargoFX
      @FargoFX  6 років тому

      I ordered a cheapie Black & Decker 6 amp from Amazon. If it works-Awesome, if not at least I can trash it in a review. LOL.
