Just as i finished a project and started on the base stand ,The saw was acting very erratic .The motor was hinting of misfires and wanted to speed up on its own sporadically.So i had another saw on the floor over a year in my way with no place to put it with out a lot of work was about to be cannibalized.I started with the easy fix first like change the speed control,Nope ,then the on off switch ,nope.then the circuit board,nope /Only thing left was the motor so that's what i did.Mind you now i don't have table one to work on and did all the work in my lap.no fun but no choice.funny thing was i hate getting into a dewalt because it's like working on a watch.Well been there done that to many times but this was the most extensive I've done to 2 dewalts simultaneously.This spare dewalt was the worst of my stock so i didn't care to rip it apart for the mucch needed parts on hand.It was the worstest sounding machine i ever owned at a low price of $80.00 from a pawn shop dealer that went out of business 20 Miles from me 2 years ago,I danced in the chair balancing the machine struggling with bolts and nuts ,But gotter done in record time too .That's the amazing part/Fired it up and it's as sweet as a new born kitten again.first motor problem in the 19 dewalts i own.No rhyme or reason why it went but that life.I, used this machine 4 years i guess.
