Dewalt Cordless 54v 60v Saw, fair warning ⚠️.

[@jose83771]

Hi, I repaired one and had the same issue and I keep rotating the tackle until I found the correct orientation, it has to be on the same spot as when it comes off, when I saw you taking it off I thought you knew something that I didn't, is clocked too the armature and the speed controller knows where the location of the armature magnets are, hope this helps you. Probably the best idea is before taking the back bearing mark the tackle and the armature with a marker to know the correct location, like timing an engine

[@AlexKall]

But it was already doing it before he took it apart?

[@MichaelWilhelm-tf8vy]

There is a white marking on the tackle. Is this from the factory? And anyway - if this is so important, then why donˋt DeWalt tell you in the breakdown or other technical information? Same reason, why they put cheap bearings in their tools: they want to sell new machines.

Someone else posted a similar comment. After the holidays I must dismantle this machine and try this.

[@nfi2nfi2]

Had a Milwaukee impact do the same thing, wouldn’t run correctly was the Hall effect sensor but it’s only had 1 of 3 positions for the armature to be in and of course didn’t put it in the correct position. It’s possible that the tacho has a small variation in magnet position on the disc and has be calibrated out via computer to make them run. Great way of reducing repairability without the equipment.

[@ElMariachi1337]

I know thefeeling all too well. These days with all the brushless machines and motor/controler issues, whenever I work on one of them I learned myself to test the motors before fully reassemling the machines again.

[@harpintn]

The biggest problem I have always had with battery operated tools it the battery going bad long before the tool goes bad, and the replacement battery is over 1/2 the cost of the machine. That is why I prefer to stick with corded tools as much as possible.

Ive not had good luck with DeWalt power tools. Usually poor quality sintered parts have been my problem.

Hi Dean, nice video. Can relate when trying to fix and a new problem arises that were hidden by the first problem. One question though, why can’t you just change the field? Or are they to expensive? Only sold with controller? I have not so much experience with DeWalt, mainly work with Makita.

What you think about other bearings like FŁT, skf, or nmb?

[@64gorrilla]

Glad channel back when you quote the bearing numbers are these a universal code number to any brand of bearing or just to each manufacturer ? Thanks always find you informative .

[@tdotw77]

Yes, the numbers are generally used by all the manufacturers. You can also measure ID, Width & OD in millimeters with a caliper and find them in a catalog or online that way. There's suffixes on the numbers sometimes too indicating the covers on the sides, protecting the insides - rubber, steel, plastic, etc. 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩 ✊🏻🇺🇸🦅

[@martingriff101]

I know its onlt cheap bearings but if someone does a fix on a machine and its still not working would the new parts be taken out again to be used again or is it a loss

[@killface1]

The new parts stay on the tool and go back to the customer because they paid for them.

The quality of some dewalt tools can be shockingly poor.

Same question.

[@logangross2215]

We own one and use it all the time. It’s a fantastic saw, a little heavy but it also makes heavy work seem easy so it’s worth it. One of my favorite places to use it is if you need to rip a board lengthwise, it will power through it no problem

[@michaelfairchild]

There wasnt a problem with it as per factory build, but basically as the owner you start to hear machine not working properly, you should think of servicing it, before it will cost loads more. Bearing started to go bad and instead of repair, they kept going where bearing blew the covers of itself and moved the armature towards the sensors.

[@N1rOx]

Owned one for 3 years, was the most powerful saw I had ever used, corded or otherwise. It never skipped a beat during my ownership either. I'd recommend if you're in the market for this type of saw.

[@deandohertygreaser]

I would deffinantly recommend these saws. For the power and size of cut, there isn't many others like it. Performance is very good, only problem is the size, weight and cost. But that's ti be expected when you buy a saw with a bigger blade and motor. The batteries would be more unreliable than the actual saw. But like I point out in the video, watch the bearings. They only use cheap bearings that don't last long, so keep an ear out for them

[@repairs524]

The exact same thing happened to me Dean remember I was asking you about it

[@deandohertygreaser]

I do, did you ever get it running again. Someone else commented that the tachometer needs to be in a certain position on the rotor. So I might give this one a second go and see if that works.

@UnCoolDad that is true, it was a mellif brand if I remember correctly but that's kinda a special case since I'm pretty sure they did that just so they could advertise that they used nsk bearings. He stripped down other tools from the same brand in the same video and they all had cheaper bearings.

[@pro-tech4494]

Hii man . I am a metal fabricator from india ! I use dewalt corded 4 inch grinder 11 thousand rpm and after using it for tile cutting... it picksup speed slowly and also feels like bearing has lost lubrication. Please suggest

[@homemadelemonade976]

Probably the bearing has picked up dust and is slowly grinding itself to death. I suggest pulling the rotor and check it's rear bearing and the brushes. Bit more involved procedure is to take apart the gear housing or "the head" of the grinder, and see if the big bearing on the output shaft is done for. If the output shaft is hard to turn by hand when the gear housing is disconnected from motor then main bearing in the gear housing on the output shaft is blown.

[@alouisschafer7212]

To me this is unacceptable from DeWalt. If they decide to save pennys on cheap bearings that will ruin my tool thats not a "professional" tool brand worth paying for.

[@jernejloknar8011]

I've repaired a bunch of hall effect sensors in tools, and it has 50% chance of it working. Many times especially in drills and angle grinders, dust and metal fillings enter motors and strip or short the hall effect sensors, and sometimes this ruins the BLDC controller input as well (no fix in that case). Most of hall boards can be easily tested - either with multimeter or oscilloscope, they just need a magnet and +3 or 5v power to test. You can also build a simple hall sensor testing board like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH-ZgIVpaZakh8U most of hall sensors are interchangeable and can be made to work regardless of what was originally there - just look at datasheet at how they need to be wired (wire capacitor, pullup or pulldown resistor properly, i've even had to put pulldown resistor into area usually reserved for capacitor) - controller only cares about binary input in the end.

[@deandohertygreaser]

That's good to know, thanks for that.

[@stevejagger8602]

So long as any electronic control components are not potted it is possible to replace or repair them. Seems a shame to have to scrap this saw because of a failed hall sensor.

Are there any tools that don't have Chineseium components?

[@deandohertygreaser]

No, there are no products full stop that do not have something produced in China. Weather its the whole product, a few parts or the materials used. Something will have come from China. What we want to know, is did the brand specify cheap China parts or quality China parts. Because China can produce both, and for not much difference in price.

[@vlota]

@WaddedBliss All this redneck Yankee "Commie bashing" anti-China stuff is getting very boring. You do know they've built their own space station, have a rover happily trundling about on Mars for the past couple of years, are the only country to successfully land a space probe on the dark side of the moon [twice!], and they build more EVs than any other country, don't you? So they can be as technologically advanced as anyone else. But they can also churn out cheap crap, if that's what they're asked to do. Don't blame the Chinese because your favourite tool brand is prioritising "cheap" over "quality" when speccing out parts.

Metabo and Bosch Professional are true pro brands that are worth the extra price because they can be repaired and serviced and last longer. Just dont buy one of the new brushless corded demohammers from Metabo they have more complicated electronics and an aluminium conrod that can snap and ruin the machine. Also their woodworking tools are not as good as Makita.

Blades have become so expensive people don't want to replace blades quickly. In South Africa anyway. Parts for Makita are 4 to 8 months wait and this is there biggest fault.
