Reassembled the $20 Delta jobsite saw...well mostly. It had some of the wiring hacked up to bypass the breaker. Problem with these saws is, getting the plastic box back on that covers the wiring and provides strain relief sucks. Unfortunately the wiring uses spade terminals and needs 90* connectors. Ones I have the plastic shell of connector is hard as cast iron. No idea how you'd crimp them. Tried to put cover on with straight spades on switch and that won't work. Did finally get the one adjuster knob/wheel figured-out. The bevel adjuster lever has splines like a motorcycle shifter. Has a spring that engages it so can move the lever in different positions. Unfortunately (that werd has an N I keep forgetting) the splines are worn out. When tightened it just clamps onto the plastic housing slot. Really simple. Or basic. Or junk depending on ur view. If can find a metric long nut could use a wrench to tighten. Details. Wasting time is what I'm doing...
Glued the armature for the other Dewalt. Need to design a way to hold it so can spin it for machining the commutator without losing fingers. Has metal fan on on the end. Be an excellent meat grinder. Can stick one end/bearing in the vise gently...need way to support other end. If had a hole saw could fabricobble something out of 2x4's that would be pretty safe. Still thinking about it. About to go close everything up. Think I'm done.
And nope. Didn't clean off the shelves or move the shingles. Kinda like to get the saws together so easier to move and so have the bench clear. I like having a bench. Need to sort thru the shelf stuff. Bench allows me to lay it out. Maybe organize that junk into good junk/limbo junk/junk.
Most of it is limbo junk. I know it. You know it. Everybody knows it.
