Thanks you for the shout out 😅😊, I decided to work on my saw after I watch your video, I'm glad that you'd work out because I'm not a tech, I just like to try to fix stuff wheen they break instead of throwing them away thanks again for your great videos 🎉
Just a friendly general note to everyone working with their hands: when using your thumb with a lot of force, it’s worth being cautious. Overusing it instead of relying on tools can potentially damage the cartilage in your thumb joint and lead to inflammation. Taking care of your thumbs now might save you some trouble down the road! BTW I love what you're doing!
I wouldn't say it's a mistake, if you don't know something; but I agree how such a small change can make a tool go from dead/useless to back in action.
I'd also recommend updating the original video in some way to show that the repair failed because you made a mistake so that people dont try to use it as a guide Or something. Add it to the title, description maybe a pinned comment or probably best yet add a clip about it to the video if you can. Also it is very interesting to see you make a mistake and then learn from it. Really gos to show that even the most experienced techs are still learning.
This is an excellent example of True Wisdom of the Masses. Somebody helps Dean out of a bit of a pickle and he's then able to help his customer and save a tool and a good bit of money. Excellent result!
YES!!! This is what community is ALL ABOUT. If this mindset would find its way to the leaders of companies and countries, we would have a lot less troubles in the world. Thanks to all the people out there, to share their knowledge and let us learn.
I love a man/woman that admits that they don't know everything. The biggest trick before the internet, was where to find the answer. The internet has made it easier. I've learned more in the past year, about fixing my tools, than I did in the previous 48. Dean, you're awesome! Aside from that, have you ever worked on stuff old enough to be badged Walters/Metabo at the same time, or Holtzer when they made hand held tools?
I have a 54v saw but not worm drive does same thing but never been apart do you think they can move well done dean for sharing the info. Do you think dewalt would have disclosed this information?
@jose83771 Thanks for the tip & help with fixing the saw! It's so nice to get help like this from the comment section community which helped @deandohertygreaser get this all sorted out! These saws are very popular with alot of framers. They're really powerful and will cut lumber all day long on one or maybe 2 batteries if that. I have the regular sidewinder type 20v version(dcs570) and have no problems cutting all day with that one, i can only imagine how much stronger & powerful this one is! Anyways, Thanx again! 👌🏻👍🏻🛠️🔧🔩⚙️🗜️✏️📐📏🦺 ✊🏻🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸✊🏻
I think marking it before taking it apart are some wise words. It seems possible in this case (logic not experience so please correct me if you know better) for the position magnet to be 90 degrees out and still look lined up but have north and south poles back to front.
A pity that someone from Dewalt hasn't got your videos under surveillance to also chip in with solutions! It wouldn't take much for Dewalt to put an obvious, alignment mark on that component.
DeWalt doesn't really want us to fix our tools, they want you to send them in to an authorized repair facility or back to them directly. Or even better for them[DeWalt] is to go buy a new one all together rather than disassemble a tool and potentially do something wrong on assembly causing something to injure you. The ol' liability thingy ya know! 🛠️🔧🔩🦺👍🏻👌🏻 ✊🏻🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸✊🏻
Anyone know were to actually buy them magnets? I broke on on a grinder when working on it and cant find them anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated 👏
is there a way this could happen to the saw without being disassembled? i have a dcs570 saw and it did the jolting and stopping and it killed one of my batteries then stopped doing anything altogether. i checked the trigger and battery contacts and they all seems fine.
@@deandohertygreaser ahh bugger, im assuming thats the box thats fully sealed with the cables going to the motor? is it possible to fix if i somehow got into it or nah?
Duh!!! DeWalt had better wise up!! Even though they sell a butt-load of power tools, this type of trade secret will help them lose a butt-load of customers. Wee southeast Texan, Jim
It would still be guess work since the armature didn't have any markings. With this magnetic film he sort of proved the concept of this particular magnetic ring.
As interesting as the video was, you spent a good 5 minutes repeating the same thing over and over again about how the magnet needs to be in a set position
