  • Electric Circular Saw Restoration Video
    I found this circular from japan recycle shop only 12$. The seller told me that it doesn't work anymore, it needs to be fixed. I think it has problem with carbon brushes. I disassembled it, cleaned every single parts, checked the power cord, checked switch and replaced new makita blade 15$. I assembled this circular saw back, finally I got a good quality circular saw only 27$. You can watch this video to see how I turn this circular saw form old to new one.
    I hope you find something useful & enjoy from this video!
    I am happy to receive your feedbacks, advices, suggestions to improve myself.
    !!! I apologize for the mistake if I have made in this restoration !!!

    When you laid out all the parts I thought "Ah, so he's going simple this time! After the reciprocating saw this is child's work for this guy." You have set yourself a phenomenally high standard, but you look good for maintaining it. Another excellent video.

I recently inherited an old Ryobi (made in USA so its gotta be at least about 30 yrs old) and when I turned it on it sounded like the bearings needed replacing. Thanks for sharing.

      I've heard the newer tools are not quite as well made as the older ones were. Another trick with Makita is make sure you get the ones that are actually made in Japan. I have some US manufactured Makita tools and they're just not as good.

      ​@@1pcfred That's to be expected. It's getting so price competitive that they are all making cuts to quality. Can't blame the manufacturers - they are just responding to consumer demand. Practically _anything_ made in Japan is going to be superior, but marketing pressure is going to push production 'overseas' if you know what I mean :P

    Finally someone who doesn't use his screw drivers as pry bars, or chisels; replaces bearings on a full tear down (really shouldn't hammer them back together though); and does more than a paint job. That said, why did it run again when reassembled? Did you check electrical conductivity of commutator, and or stator? Replaced brushes, or switch? Don't use so much grease on external bolts it's just a sawdust magnate. Don't paint footplate underneath just leaves black marks on the wood (just clean to shiny metal/one coat rust preventive). Like you reused old cord with new strain relief, like you threw away old blade (not worth all that work for what costs $7.00 where I'm from).

    Hi, great work in short. I have one question for you: What procedure is used to remove rust with electrical current ? What materials and what are current profiles ? Can you share a bit more info on that , please ?

      @@firebladex8586 I have some old Ryobi tools. They were real crap back in the day. I have a biscuitter made by them that defies the laws of mechanics. I set it, do a test cut, then use it and I get three different results. I can't figure out how it does it. It's like magic! What a POS. I got an old router by them too. Thing's a joke. Like child's toy quality.

      Newcomers need time to evolve. Remember when Honda was young? Civics used to be 'junk' and now look where they are!
      EDIT: I meant Honda cars - they were originally a motorcycle company, and their bikes were always good

      @@firebladex8586 I remember Honda being different because they were smaller than what folks were used to. I don't remember them being of particularly low quality though. the Ryobi tools I have were made in the early to mid 90s. So they're the Bosch blue rip off colored ones. To be avoided.

      I wish we were shown what was wrong with it. Was the switch faulty? I couldn't tell if they replaced it or not. I know the switch on my Porter Cable saw is shot. It's a left hander. I like that saw. But half the time when I pull the trigger nothing happens. Then the saw runs. So kind of spooky to use.
