| John Rudd:
Is there anyone here versed in the art of rewinding universal motor armatures? I have an armature that I would like to rewind, but my experience is virtually non-existant..., That said, I rewound the field coils for the drill that matches the armature.... I fear it has shorted turns, there is excessive sparking at the comm, the field coils are warming up too as a result I suspect due to excessive current... Please help... :zap: |
| Pete.:
I know it might be a daft question but you can't find a suitable donor machine to rob the armature from? |
| John Rudd:
Pete, No chance at all, its a vintage Stanley Bridges Wasp from my collection...made around the early 60's I think. |

there are a few of the old "Newness" published electrical series that cover armature winding, if you can get your hands on them, I will check out mine tomorrow at the wshop and see if I can find any details, You need the armarture in a jig where it can be rotated or fixed, and several coils of enamelled copper wire of the correct size, fiddly but doable! My grandfather was a coil winder who specialised in armatures, but that is no help now! Phil |

This £20 one on ebay no good for a donor? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-STANLEY-ELECTRIC-DRILL-5-16-WASP-BRIDGES-DR2T-FULLY-WORKING/401933097873 |
