- Yep after a lifetime it finally gave up even after at least thirteen years of neglect the old girl still works however there's smoke coming out of the motor. Time for a remedy!
Join me as i actually get this to work properly again, new motor glue and a clean - good as new!!
Thank you so much! With your help I just revived my drill, she's special to me for she's the first of many tools I bought. I hope she'll stick with me for another 8 years!
Fantastic!
Wouldn't lose mine either!
Just what I needed, I could not find where the little spring went, Thank you for enlightening me.
No worries it flummoxed me too!
Very good!
Thank you
Welcome!
In the old days we used makita drills with the old long NIcd batteries. Those drills shut of when overheated. It seems that makita does not build in a temperature switch. From video's i've seen the brushless drills do not smoke as fast as the ones with a brush motor.
I agree there are thermal fuses in some windings typically transformers. The brushless motors have alot of feedback to the controller chip so have more info on what's going on in the motor.
But as we know that all comes at a price.
Cheers
Thought I’d mention when you said it had loads of brush left the issue was the dirt it’s the same with dewalt mine what I thought needed brushes turned out to be clogged with sh•t basically oil and god knows what but after a clean it works as good as new if you would have cleaned that motor/brushed motor you would have saved a bit of money as it looked like it only needed a quick clean and it seemed to have quite a bit of power in it hope you kept it as a spare incase it is needed in future anyway nice vid I’ve liked and subscribed
@Brad-0212
Thanks Brad.
I did keep the motor not got a clue where though! It is pretty knackered it got so hot the winding lacquer has partially melted so its not a good runner anymore.
Cheers
@@CazualHaze ah ok well if it’s needed as a spare for a quick job at least if you can find it then it might be usable nice vid anyway mate 👍
I've knackered my festool impact driver... She's started sparkling and smoking after 6/7 years of solid service😢
Well out of the 3yr warranty now, so I'm looking for a tool repair place in Tenerife 🙄
Sounds like a plan. These tools are so expensive it makes sense to repair them.
Cheers
Good job...you must have heard me yelling about the leaf spring.
Thanks it took me ages to find where it goes.
Or me shouting to get a vice or a clamp |-)
Thanks for the video. I just bought a MAKITA from my local Cashconverter. Was a bargain at 37€ with case + 2batteries. Bearings seem a shade wobbly - but maybe i can sort that out. i was able to compare it´s spin speed to your´s at the end of the video. Almost an E note so must be right. Time to play some `POUNDCAKE Van Halen. ! Cheers from Spain
@DANWRITITIS Good choice I have now got around £1k worth of Makita tools not regretted a single purchase! Van Halen, man of my era!!!
Thanks, that small metal clip/spring fell out of mine and i didn't know where it went. Do now.
Thanks Brian,
Took me a fair while to find even with the exploded parts view.
Glad it helped.
Cheers
Nice one ...can I ask .... how much and where you ordered the replacement motor from ....thanks
Hi It was a genuine part from an eBay seller here in the UK cant remember who there are plenty to choose from!
Just had same go on mine and no easy way to access the brushes even then, As you implied with all the dirt inside, it could also be the windings too so safest bet is to replace the motor. Wondering how to keep the dirt out from now on to prevent repeat occurance as it packed up on ly after about 3 years of light use.
Hi @paredding
I think its best to not block the airflow through the motor it will overheat and fail early. Sounds like that's what has happened to yours. The new motor is cheap and its an easy fix!
@@CazualHaze Thanks. Yes - new motor ordered yesterday.
Really enjoyed this. Cheers
Awesome, thank you!
you also needed to clean the mechanism
for gearbox. but the video is great
Thanks. it's still going I changed the motor a couple of months ago!
My Makita 18V DUB182Z wirings melted and smokes. But there no videos or articles on what wire size AWG to be used for replacement. Any advice?
Hard to know you could try and ring your local repair centre and see if they have a kit. There might be a spares kit for it online and finally you could measure the wire you have and then look up the AWG equivalent.
You may have melted the trigger speed controller if it still runs at full speed with no variable speed then its toast! A new one will probably come with wires attached.
Good luck.
So it loooks like on this model, you cant just renew the brushes as they seem to be built in.
Hi @ericreckless541 I guess you could but it might be fiddly the commutator might need truing up as well! So I went for the easy option the motor was only a few dollar pounds.
Cheers
My big wired drill started to smoke. Cant find a repair video for it. Dont know what to do. And it dont have nobody in my country trinidad that repairs drill. Heck its hard to get any dc motors to buy in my .country.
You might need a universal motor they run on AC or DC
My email is on the about me page
Send over pictures I will see if I can help
@@CazualHaze OK BUT DC MOTORS ARE A BIT HARD TO GET WHERE I LIVE BUT I WILL STILL SEND A PICTURE. I MAY EVENTUALLY FIND IT SOMEWHERE IN TRINIDAD
Salut Bonne vidéo. peux-tu me dire où est-ce que tu as acheté le moteur
Hi Hydra,
I got the motor from an eBay seller here in the UK. You will find a similar genuine replacement dealer in France also.
Good luck its not too difficult to replace these.
@@CazualHaze merci beaucoup je m’abonne
Mabuchi 775. 👍🏼
Ah ha next time that’ll help!
I would have greased it as well.
Yep should have but its still going a year on!
Generally I am lazy.
Can SEE WHY THERE'S NO COMMENTS
Well done your first Congratulations!
Boring
Thanks for the feedback! Next time I will get a dance troop in or maybe a big Bollywood number!
But that does seem a bit OTT for replacing a motor in a battery drill.
