Dremel Quit?!?!

So the other day at the shop my dremel quit while cutting a dash, i figured i fried it, after reading the manual i found out that it had brushes (looks like compressed graphite) in the case. Took apart, filed and it worked perfect. Heres how.

1.On side there will be 2 round circles with slits in them for a flat head screwdriver.
2.Remove one at a time, carefully unscrew and remove spring.
3.Inside there is a little square piece with a round top, tap the hole on the counter to get the brush out.
4.File down so end is flat. (If shorter than 1/8", order a new one)
5.Put back will slide smoothly if not rotate it so slits in corners line up.
6.Put screw back in and screw down cap
7.Repeat on other side

Good to know
Sick chopper btw

Nice work!

We were going over a similar task taking apart starters from cars today in class.

The brushes are always the first thing to check, We actually brought out this cool machine called a growler to test if the armature was shorted out.


Fun stuff.

Good tech tip on replacing the brushes, thank you.

I agree, that's one bada$$ ride in your avatar .... Specs? Post 'em up in the Mini Chopper section.
