Hi Old Steve
I see that this thread is a bit ancient now - a bit like me !! I have a shopmate 10" and burned the motor out in recent days. I tried changing the brushes as one was well worn and the wee wire was detached from the carbon head....no luck. So I took the whole thing apart and it smells of being burnt, the commutator is very worn. Do you know anyone who might have motor spares - rotor and magnetic windings? Bearings all look OK. Pity to scrap the tool for such a 'fixable' problem. Thanks in advance.
