I'm going to be using this drill for sanding on the lathe, after the cheap HF version of the angle drill blowed up real good
I got this on Yahoo auctions here in Japan, first one I've seen in a while on there. I won the auction for $26, and the shipping was $10 (I thought is would be only $5, but the seller was all the way up in Hokkaido, the most northern part of Japan). They retail here for about $160, for a new one.
Here it is.........
I took it apart to see how everything is inside.....
The switching area looks good, nothing burned etc, the brushes still have lots of life and the armature looks good too. I very lightly sanded, or cleaned up the armature.
The drive gear and all the bearing are in great shape, the grease was a little old, and a bit dry, so I repacked the bearings and such with new bearing grease.
The one thing that was rusty was the paddle switch, not a big deal, but while I'm cleaning it up, might as well deal with this.
I set up my electrolysis tank and let the paddle switch bubble away, and boy did it bubble!
This is as it was turned on, and about 5 minutes later.....
I went to the L shop to work and came back about 10 hours later........
hardly any bubbles at all.......
