Own the same saw and love it . Works perfectly and when you invest a bit of time to align it properly its cuts very accurately. The only negative point is the massive inrush current of the motor. Makes the saw nearly bouncing at motor startup. Added a softstart module in the switch housing and it starts up like a purring kitten now. 👍
@@chbr2a😮 Everything is 'adjustable', you just need the right size hammer to do certain adjustments that are 'non-adjustable'! 😅😂👌🏻👍🏻🛠️🔧🔩🦺🤔🤦🏻♂️ ✊🏻🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲✊🏻
I do a couple of these saws a week, really durable. Usually cooked off by a new builder doing full depth rips on long wet timber. Wee tip on fitting the leads to the brush holder: I straighten the tab, remove the brush holder, fish the lead and connector out the holder hole. Connect it, put the holder back in and bend the connector and tab out the way.
Them parts are no more than 50 Euros to Dewalt and thats probably a stretch. The markup is literally Fraud if you ask me.. I wish company's were scrutenised by there government or some body that could walk in and do an inventory and pricing and say.. No you cant charge that much, thats illegial lads.. The likes of Dewalt is capitalism at is finest... Dyson is another one that drives me mad..
It's weird though, I can buy the exact same parts from the official Dewalt site in NL, armature 85/field 80/brushes 5 euro. Maybe its becaue its an 240V machine that is not commonly sold by Dewalt in the UK but is in the rest of EU.
A soft start module can be easily put on this saw which makes a huge difference to start up - no jolt and I believe it prolongs motor life? Maybe Dean has an opinion???
Great advice about the metal fillings getting dragged in to the machine. Definitely needs some sort of filter in place if they are always cutting aluminium etc. Definitely worth fixing for half the price of a new machine. Cheers Dean.
Don't worry Dean, I was cursing for you while watching how you had to fiddle with that lead, installing the spade connectors onto the brush holder and those cable clamps into the switch housing!
Sounds like a perfect candidate to cable clamp a long flexible dust extraction pipe to the motor housing to move the air intake well out of the way of chips. Maybe add a filter as well?? 🤔 Should keep it running longer next time and definitely a lot cheaper then replacing the motor on a regular basis!! 😅👍👍👍👍👍
Great video. I own the same saw so very educational for me. Well done and filmed as well. Love the accent :) Thank you. I will keep your advise in mind. Though I must say that the saw costs me in NL about EURO 610,00 incl VAT nowadays. These parts are really expensive.
Hi, Can you tell me the name/model of the cam lever pliers (not sure how to call them) you used to help put the cable clamp into the motor housing? Thanks for the great video.
I have the same saw in the US (dwe7491 120v) it's been reliable for 2-3 years of light use. The cost seemed high until you realize US sales tax is not included in advertised price because it varies so much by state and even locality, while VAT is included and also a higher percent. 220v being a lower sales volume makes up the difference of about 100euro. The repair is still economical compared to new. (US lowes, homedepot) (UK toolstoreUK, toolden, its)
When repairing tools, do you speak to manufactures (Ryobi, DeWalt ect) if still under warranty. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on after sales service as mine has so far been mixed. There's lots of videos on tool testing from different makes but not much on the after sales service which I guess varies a lot from region to region, Cheers
You may be referring to the 8 and one querter saw 110 volt which I just purchased for about the same. Wanted the 10 inch 220 volt which I used to have but the price for those has skyrocketed.
I have a DW745GB type 3 I hoped this video would help me put it back together. I bought it while stationed in Saudi Arabia. It stopped working and I took it back to the dealer a week later they went out of business. I got it back all apart. All of the wiring is disconnected and I can't find anything or anybody to help me put it back together. Even Dewalt was no help. Im now in the Philippines and still searching for help. I have watched alot of your videos and I'm hoping maybe you could help. Specifically how it is wired all the wires were removed.
Things are expensive in your country. In the US a 110v is only $350/400. - NEW m/c Does it have a proper metal saw blade with negative tooth rake.: [ 80/100 tooth blade] and use plenty of Silicone Spray to lubricate the cut. - the swarf looks like they are cutting Dry !
You sure its the 7492 10inch table saw. we must be getting ripped of here. Not sure if it was am alu blade, think it was a multi material blade. But there was no silicon lube used anyway
$790 in Canada c get's you the better model that accepts a dado stack and has the rolling saw stand. I have the model you are working on. Paid $450 on sale. They actually don't sell that 10" model anymore as the table was deemed to small for the blade diameter. It's 8" now Regulations. Ugh.
I wonder how much sense is to repair it instead of buying a new one!! Seems to be quite expensive all repairs and labor vs a new one. In the USA ( Connecticut) it costs $300.00
I'm kinda surprised by the prices here, maybe it's because it's a 240V machine wich is not commonly sold by Dewalt in the UK ? In NL/BE the whole lot of parts you got would be around 170 Euro. Not a fan of this table saw btw, for some reason it seems to burn out a lot quicker then the ones used on the DW743/S27107 saws which have the same 2000 Watt power.
Yeah I also don't understand why kind of supplier he got... Sometimes he's talking about 50€ brushes. Like wtf... It's a bit of graphite, you can get 3rd party ones for like 2€. The original ones are certainly not 25 times better!
The dw743 which is basically a old ELU Tgs model has a induction motor. They are less likely to burn out. It is just, that reliability lost against marketing.
The cost of parts for Dewalt is rediculous and their saws are not that well designed as illustrated in this video. First of all that motor is a direct drive so is taking a 100 % back force from the blade this results in increased wear to the bearings and increased amperage in the windings which leads to overheating and jumping starts.Belt driven blades allow some leeway and take out the shock of the direct drive. The customer would probably be better using a cheaper table saw for cutting metals such as Evolution which are a third of the price.
Could the guy not install a do it yourself mesh screen over one side? From frame bar to bar. Depending on how it's accomplished, it might not affect air draw in any significant way, yet avoids the aluminum shavings. It can also be easily and cheaply replaced. I mean, it's not like he cares about the warranty at this point lol. Might as well add some hillbilly ingenuity to the mix for longevity.
@@Mobin92 And I think secondarily because we get tired of things faster over here. Why fix an old beat up tool when you can have a shiny new one has a lot to do with it.

5:04 I mean.. a 1000€ machine has bunch of zip ties thrown on the field and it's already became brittle. Is that what they call " Value engineering"?? shm

the cost of those parts in Europe is outrageous. I can't imagine the cost of a new saw! Glad they have you to fix them Dean- u rock!

A fine hair net over the end of the motor will keep the biggest chunks out!
Sounds like they weren’t connecting a dust extractor/shop-vacuum to it ⚠️
Good to see the magic table getting a go 👍
Nice job Dean. 👍🏻 nice to see a different tool getting fixed.
That’s wild that saw is 1200euro. Its 599$ at my local Home Depot here in US
It may be do to the fact that it is 220 volt, I'm not sure though.
1200 euro???? Wohhh....i Bought this for INR 47000 brand new.
I really enjoyed the you repairing and details view thanks bro
Lovely job
Dean, get yourself some forceps for those fiddly spade connectors. Fishing ones are really cheap
Don't worry Dean, I was cursing for you while watching how you had to fiddle with that lead, installing the spade connectors onto the brush holder and those cable clamps into the switch housing!
Pretty cool Dean, nice job. I have one of tgese.
Thanks Dean.Just curious would he have a guarantee with the new motor if so would it be void because of what he’s cutting

Those cable grips, you can buy a 'proper' set of pliers for them that makes them quite a bit easier to remove and refit.
Known as “strain relief pliers”. They make putting them back on a breeze.
Nice job Dean!!!
No parts available for earlier versions of this saw
Hi, Can you tell me the name/model of the cam lever pliers (not sure how to call them) you used to help put the cable clamp into the motor housing? Thanks for the great video.
They where wiha pliers. Think the call them plier wrenches
@@deandohertygreaser thank you
Hello Dean. May I ask a question not related to this programme. What will happen when a controller from a Festool OF1010 is put in a Festo OF900E?

Can you test motor to see it is blown
Just switch it on. If there is a lot of blue flashes coming from the motor, it's burnt out.
What a silly system to connect the brushes! In Taiwan worktime seams to be priceless.
So far all the DeWalt repairs he did had some unnecessarily tedious bullshit in them. Would absolutely not buy DeWalt ._.
Petit commentaire pour le réf !!! et le petit like qui fait plaisir.................
Just thought will help you with the jobs. Do like your work or some 👍🏻
11:26 Dean what is the purpose of the metal 'ferrous ring' on the wires? 🤔🛠️🔧🔩🦺⚡🔌👌🏻👍🏻

Gee, what did they think you would do with the fence?
Wow, $300 for the saw in US, and I thought even that was expensive

Not sure if it was am alu blade, think it was a multi material blade. But there was no silicon lube used anyway
Vandalism by a DIY Enthusiast !
You have to be an octopus to fix that machine.
After 40 years as a chippy these new bits of kit are good for repairers but not much good for the tradesmen
Please, do yourself a favour and install a Softstart Module. 😊
$790 in Canada c

In the USA ( Connecticut) it costs $300.00
New 7492 240V in Germany arround 550-600 €; Field + Rotor arround 90 € each incl. VAT.
Interestingly, Rotor is marked obsolete by Dewalt.
That saw in the united states is only $600 with a folding stand. Crazy it's double the price over there.
but is it a weak 110v/120v ?
why is it crazy, trade war between US and China and EU is ongoing since trump administration
Good job as always but was It an economically viable repair ?
yes the repair was still more than half the cost of a new saw and saves the customers around 600 euro
About 300 doll in US. New.
I'm kinda surprised by the prices here, maybe it's because it's a 240V machine wich is not commonly sold by Dewalt in the UK ?

You could just cut a piece of HVAC filter and tape on place , it comes usually in rolls .
@pete_lind Even better lol.
$500 US for that saw, and that includes the stand.
Which is why we don't repair broken tools in America. The cost of repair is greater than what Home Depot sells it for.
@@satamanschmidt3428 Partly because the manufacturer is taking the piss with the price of the spare parts.

unacceptable motor price,
compared to a car starter motor or washing machine motor.
unjustifiable.
Tooooo many wires… I just cut the leads and leave the spades on the switch, less chance of getting them wrong…👍😂
Would wrapping some women's tights around the motor housing work..😂👍
If you take them off first 😉
You can buy new for £460
No you can’t the 110v of this model from Screwfix uk is £939.99
5:04 I mean.. a 1000€ machine has bunch of zip ties thrown on the field and it's already became brittle. Is that what they call " Value engineering"?? shm
Long nose pliers 400mm set of three UK £31.19 don't know how much in euro sorry From Machine Mart
Table saw is for wood
Oh next time do please leave the camera on when you do the cussing and swearing
aluminium shaving all over the saw... I wonder why it failed 😂
Maker says it cuts metal, but they don't say for how long. |-)
Aluminium isn't that bad to cut. With the right blade it's perfectly fine
Lol
