The motor has an internal fan which has vents it’s heat into the housing. At the top the main housing is ventilated by spacing it off from under the work table. At the bottom the cover is a ventilated louvers with short legs separating it from the work bench. These rectifiers overheat with extended time period usage.Ĭooling is the issue. It is available from electronics component vendor for about $ 10. This part is not available from the main parts supplier.

If you think your motor burned out, it’s probably just the rectifier. It is separate from the motor and mounted on the frame. These operate on 120 volts AC, but get converted to approximately 105 volts DC through a rectifier. It is a clone of many other brands such as “Grizzly”, ” Triton” and many others. Come on really ? Work safe good buy.Īs mentioned in several posts here, I presently own the “WEN” oscillating spindle sander. But 40 and 50 dollars for a tool that actually turns on.

I’d rather bash the rip off company’s who’s tools aren’t worth the money. No reason to make fun of a company that is selling a cheaper costing tool that works good. Dont be scared because something doesn’t cost 1000 dollars. My air nailers are hitachi my compound miter saw Dewalt etc. I don’t think all their tools are the best so I buy the one I like for the job it does. Just like I think Bosh makes best jig saw so that’s what I have. So cheap I actually purchased couple just to see quality. All these features we never used or needed in the past and now have no choice but to pay for. Make the tool look nice, almost like a fancy sports car. How is it that the same tool hits the shelf for first time at 700 dollars and 2 years later it’s less than half that. However at the end of the day, where do all these parts come from and how much does it really cost to build a good tool that the company turns around for god only knows how many times the price it cost to build. I’m not saying that there isn’t home owner quality junk out there.
