Help fix Tom's Mitre Saw! - Tom - 31-10-2013
Hey all, im boarding out the loft at home and was planning on using this mitre saw to cut the joists to length, my grandad bought this saw a few years ago to do his loft, he has since passed away and the saw was in my nans garage and she said i could use it. Trick being it doesnt work :/
So, plug in switch on, pull trigger it does nothing. No sounds no smells nothing. So i torn into it. I think the problem is something to do with those 2 metal tabs coming out the end of the motor that were just chilling not actually attached to anything, but im not exactly sure where they should be so im hoping someone can help! If you want more pics of a more words for anything and i'll get them, im here all day
Thankss xx![[Image: IMG_20131031_154327_zps872e17b8.jpg]](http://s817.photobucket.com/user/tomw1123/media/IMG_20131031_154327_zps872e17b8.jpg.html)

those two metal tabs should attach to a pair of brush's that rub against the comutator on the motor
RE: Help fix Tom's Mitre Saw! - Tom - 31-10-2013
Commutator being the coppery bit on the end of the shaft there?

Yep.
Fkn character limit.
RE: Help fix Tom's Mitre Saw! - Tom - 31-10-2013
Bugger thats all thats inside it :/ Guess i need brushes and something to hold them in place
RE: Help fix Tom's Mitre Saw! - cully - 31-10-2013
brush carrier and brushes are missing maybe more
I'm guessing grandad left you a project
depending on make and how old it is you will probably be better of Binning it

He could never throw anything out lol, probably been broken for years! Its only a cheap B&Q one, will look into getting another one tomorrow!

RE: Help fix Tom's Mitre Saw! - burnmw - 01-11-2013

I bought a cheap B&Q one, it's taken some stick (and some timber too), and it's still going strong.
RE: Help fix Tom's Mitre Saw! - Carlos182 - 01-11-2013
