Best service anywhere anytime period. I do not know of any other place where you can have a expert engineer and technician repair and restore your tools with HONOR , HONESTY and INTEGRITY and feel damn good about when you pick up your tool and pay the man and leave with a smile. Prayers and Love to you and your family !!!!
Not only did you have the right housing to repair this grinder, you also managed to match the condition to the original! Incredible repair, always a pleasure to watch you work
Exceptional service. The diagnosis of the problem, the secondhand casing replacement, the swapping of stator, switch and brush holder ‘just in case’, renewal of the head and tail bearings on the armature along with a new set of brushes and she is good to work for another long spell. Your customer should be more than happy.
I'm trying to imagine the storage needed to keep second hand spares from 25+ years ago. I never throw anything away in case it might be useful but I can't compete with this! Respect!
He's gone through it all and showed it on his work shop tour a few months back now. Maybe the 100k subs video iirc. Besides all the parts & pieces stored on wall shelves and containers inside the shop there's a shed out side along with a shipping container both packed with all the old used parts & pieces he may possibly need someday. I don't think you'll find this kind of service and used parts selection anywhere, but you can find a lot of used pieces on eBay though depending on how old & popular it was. Dean is the man I wish he was over here in the US, he'd literally be so slammed with work he'd need an assistant or 3 to handle the workload!
Thanks for the video. Always like it when the tool comes in the owner says it just needs brushes. 20 min later Used body, two new bearings, and the brushes.
If you're doing this at home and you melt out a housing I've managed to use aluminum pop can cut in strips as shim material and loctite to space the new bearing. And I have one heavy duty dewalt drill that had a melted rear housing where I used epoxy and set the armature and bearing in that I was able to assemble it with shims to make sure it was centered. .
You're incredible and I know you said that's not working perfectly but that sounds better than the brand new Milwaukee grinder I have. And I bet when it breaks parts will out price the grinder.
couldn't agree more. what turned me onto them first was the price. A standard Wiha set is not that much more expensive compared to a basic cheap brand. but they last like nothing else, and are the most comfortable to use. Wouldn't buy anything but Wiha and Wera now.
@@deandohertygreaser Unfortunately that's not true around here, at 60 euros for a set of 6 this kind of Whia screwdrivers are about 3 times the price of a decent quality hobby set and even above some professional ones (equivalent blue Bosch set is 50 euros).
Wera is losing their build quality, have had two kraftforms shoot/break their springs in the past three months. Used to keep them in the house, now have a DIY set instead
My Dear Brother Dean, I hope that man is told how you fixed that soon to be 30 year old grinder up for another possibly 10 years. Oh and I kept thinking is he going to change that handle that's bent, but the more I looked at it I realized it's not bent it's actually made to be at that angle I have never seen one like that before. Good job ! 🇨🇮🇺🇸👍
Very well done, thanks for showing! I'm still thinking to tell the man to order new stickers and/or modify the model number and year of mfgr with a sharpie. ☺️
I wonder if it's worth putting a bit of grease around the outer part of any bearing, so that they won't bind up/melt the housing when a bearing race fails.
You don't ever want the outer race to spin in the housing, so I wouldn't be adding anything to reduce friction there. Better just pay attention and stop the tool whenever it sounds bad.
Bosch is pretty good for servicabilty (the higher up in thenrange stuff anyway), i found it difficult to buy parts in the Republic though, im guesing B and Q or someone has sooe rights to distribute here. I ended up finding some obscure German website that was willing to ship. A snap to fix things though once you have the parts, the diagrams and parts lists are really good.
Grinders are so cheap and the benefit of the electric brake on modern ones makes upgrading a no brainier to be honest…. 27 year old tools is madness haha
Many people (like welders) have multiple grinders with different speeds & different discs on them for various uses so they don't have to constantly swap the discs to suit the job at hand. Not everyone just has one do-it-all grinder.
@richiejames928 ok gotcha...you got more money to spend on grinders than the guy who had his fixed rather than tossing it in a landfill for being "too old". I also have a 20+ year old Bosch grinder without a brake and have no need to buy a new one with a brake cause I don't need a new grinder. 🤦🏻♂️

Dean you definitely went above and beyond to fix this old grinder for your customer. Also made for some good content.
Thanks for the video.

Thanks to your videos I took the plunge to completely strip my paslode im350+ and give it a good need service thankyou and keep up the good work
That'll be $129.97 please!😅

Classic Dean to start the new year! Thanks for the education and entertainment in 2024. Best wishes to you and your kin.
Same to you!

Not many repairers of anything look to make things cheaper for the customer. Well done to you.
I like how he always tries to save the customer money, while keeping the quality of the repair high.
Those original blue Bosch tools were awesome took dogs abuse they earned their keep
Such a joy listening and watching you work, Dean. Thank you for bringing us along!
Best in the business Dean.. full-stop 👍
Hope you are enjoying summer down under. It's super cold here in Kansas
I like how you used a Bosch to open a Bosch that you put into another Bosch
Thanks for another Great Video, Dean!!
I only use Wiha screwdrivers now that ive been watching your channel the last 2 years now, and i love them all to death

@@Dr_V You buy them once in your life.
@@Dr_V they're absolutely a buy once cry once because they will absolutely last you a lifetime, or until you lose them

Congrats closing in on 150k subs
Super as always thank you
Happy new year mate

Good job.
Good save
Keep the handle , and replace the grinder 😊
Hey Dean, what’s the grease you use the most frequently? (Gear grease) the one you always carry in your syringe 😀
Haha this tool is older than me
I think you can use the cheap/copy $8 GWS 060 armature to this GWS 6-115.
I wonder if it's worth putting a bit of grease around the outer part of any bearing, so that they won't bind up/melt the housing when a bearing race fails.

have you ever repaired a makita drv 150z ? I currently have one in bits 🤦🏼♂🤣
super 👍

I noticed that you used Wiha screwdrivers a bit ago and ordered a set. I subscribe to the notion that I can't afford to buy cheap tools.
Where do you get brushes?is there a cod for them or any brushes that fit
Manufacturer parts supplier online
Nah,my 1970s two speed bosch hammer drill ist older happy New year, everyone.

All grinders are dangerous. Brake or not
