Hi Guys
I've recently acquired a modellers table circular saw that would be great for cutting PCB blanks. I paid next to nothing for it so I wasn't surprised when it didn't run. A close internal inspection revealed a small circuit board which had suffered some serious 'tampering' and careless soldering, so I tidied it up somewhat and then tried again, but no luck.
I've now discovered that one side of the motor stator coil is fractured .. .. .. when I removed the commutator I found a small piece of spring steel embedded in one of the stator coils, cutting through several winding strands.
I've removed the coil, counted the windings, measured the wire .. .. .. but ..
Do you think to rewind the coil is a realistic undertaking for a novice - I've never done one before ... or should I try and get it done by a professional ?
A replacement motor is not an option ..!
