anyone know where in town i can get my grinder motor fixed? i got a good Dewalt years ago, but the motor is making terrible noises. i've worked that poor thing really hard. if it can be fixed, no need to buy a $125 new one.

cruiser content, i need it to work on Project 16.

yes, the brushes ride on that part. the problem is, it runs slow and with low power. no wonder why. but it won't work anymore. i guess i'll pick up a new one tomorrow.

You should have added the latter description in your first post Jon, do still want to look at your two dead ones?

I have a feeling that at least one of my dead grinders will have the same problem as Shawn's. Guess I'll take them apart for a look.

If your commutator is not shot like Shawn's (maybe shorted out like my starter) you may be able to clean it out and get a bit more life out of it.
