Andrew, I could do as you suggest.... But if you look at the vid, there is a largish hole behind the fan so there is little to press against.... I'm beginning to think about how Im going to make a new fan :scratch: Maybe cut out a circle of thin ally sheet, make some cuts to form twisted blades, secured to a brass bush at the centre? Thoughts? |
| John Rudd:
Ok, An update on this.... I successfully removed the fan from the motor shaft and got the rest dismantled....Time now to clean up all the bits and fit some new bearings.... Sadly though, on one drill, I managed to break the fan :palm: So I need a new one so that I can rebuild that one too....( I think I got a bit of an obsession going on at the moment, I've got 9 Stanley Bridges drills in total and a couple more on the way.... :Doh:) Got to have something to keep me busy! :lol: So ideas please on how to make a new fan...... |

Use the good one as a plug to cast new in Ali? |
| John Rudd:
Hmm... Nice idea..... :beer: But not got any casting facility here in my shop..... :scratch: Now, I wonder...... :coffee: |

Looks like a good candidate for one of our 3D printing enthusiasts to be unleashed on :wave: |
