AHHHH! Thanks... the SPRING and the damn BRAKE! Your vid fixed my issue for an old saw where fixed the issue with cracked power lines, dirty rotor and couldn't put back together . THANKS!
Good video. But if I dismantled the motor like that, I would have changed the bearings regardless for some nice Japanese ones. Also you are not using Vaseline but a Valvoline multipurpose grease. Vaseline would melt from the heat of the motor especially in summer. Cheers
Thanks for posting the complete teardown and rebuild. My Protech saw is having some problems and I'm wanting to do a maintenance rehab before it goes bellyup!
just a note on production values - i.e., camera angles...your torso is blocking 35% of the time - overall, good vid...amazing what a little lube will do
he is fixing the motor, there is a good chance he will put it back on but it wouldn't be practical now. The guard is when people are making cuts so they don't have a mistake, us men we have to work around dangerous things and so when we have to do with regularly we try to minimize the risk like having a blade guard on. When we are in the shop and working on a machine its dangerous and stupid to put the blade guard on and the only purpose it serves is because idiots constantly clog up your post with their recommendation to put the guard on. Just so you know plenty of people work for 20 years and never use a guard with out losing fingers and plenty of people with all the guards lose their fingers, the guard helps a little for safety but at the end of the day most of the danger of a miter saw is you have your hand to close to the blade
manmanman lol... the first thing I do is remove the blade guards( on my table saws, my chop saws have them, but I manually lift them out of the way before each cut)... I don’t know about you or everyone else, but I get so much visual feedback from actually seeing the blade cutting the wood that I feel unsafe with it on (or when it binds from opening),... when I can’t see the metal meeting the wood I feel unsafe. Don’t think I underestimate the power of my tools, & I respect their power and keep my digits:body out of the way at all times
@@manmanman6956 hmmm...blade guards that are poorly designed ( Makita's plastic guard starts clear, but quickly becomes opaque, so you cannot see the cut mark ) are not unsafe, but they are production killers and so they are removed in favor of production. Kinda like the reopening of the economy is dangerous, but how long can you hold your breath? it is not an either or tho, Good design accommodates safety and production. Dewalt created a guard with louvers that you can see thru to the work piece and align the cut mark with your eye, all while protecting you from harm. There is no good reason to remove the guard because it doesn't compromise accuracy and production for safety. Come on people, is this Covid problem too big or scary to start figuring out real solutions.
Hi Mark, just had a quick look on Y/TUBE search, came up with a guy called, Smart Easy DIY, its called "DeWalt miter chop saw repair wear plate replacement DWS780". I know its a DeWalt but it might just give you a clue as how to go about taking your Makita to pieces, hope this helps, good luck.
Ereplacement parts should have a breakdown on the LS1111. There are 2 model I believe is 1110N .I have the LS 1110 been going strong since 1994 with just brush changes. Not changing brushes soon enough is where many go bad.

Hi thinking of doing the same to my saw , can you tell me the RPM speed of your new blade , Thanks ! Jack .
I think you ought to be looking to replace the BLADE GUARD, it doesnt look vey safe to me. Good video though.

you probably could have replaced the frayed cord while you were in there
:)
Why would a blade on a Dewalt turn the opposite direction
Something must be wrong with your saw.
Anybody know where there are instructions on how to disassemble the table on an LS1011? Florida is hell on moving metal parts.
Just type it into youtube, it seems like you can find ALMOST anything on here. Good Luck.

Also, the old grease should be completely removed & the parts cleaned before applying the new grease.
you are richer than other people
I do not know.
