dremel not powering up but brushes are ok

[amateur_24]

Hi

I think I was cutting something steel when I was forcing it to cut then the thing just cut out. What can I say I don't accept no for an answer.
Have I burnt out the motor? What actually happenswhen it gets burnt out because I don't see any damage to the motor

Is there continuity through the motor?
It is a universal type motor, so the armature and fields are in series.
If there is, it could be in the speed control devices.

Are the brushes OK?

What country are you in? If it's the UK, have you checked the fuse in the plug?

sorry am unfamiliar with the different motor types. Is this a universal motor

 

[amateur_24]

The brushes are ok and the fuse is ok

Does the motor move if you change the speed. If so, then you burned a spot in the speed control.

Yes it is a Universal motor, you need to do some continuity checks, that is if you possess a meter.
