Armature rewinding
John Rudd:
I already saw that one, its not a Wasp....that particular drill shares the same cartridge motor as the DR5S, the DRCD and the Hornet...The differences are in chuck size and whether they have a thermal cutout fitted.. The armatures are a different size too, the Wasp is slightly smaller in diameter, the field coils are smaller too.

The motor on my Boxford Little Giant grinder started getting hot. The armature looked OK so I rewound the field coils. It still got hot. At that stage I gave up and bought another one.
If you should happen to find someone who can do a reasonably cheap job, then please share the info. The firm in Croydon I approached wanted £150 :bang:

I used to have loads of motors rewound by a place in south London when I had the Launderettes as they seemed to have an over abundance of ones with specially long shafts, or double ended shafts. In later years it became more and more difficult to find people who could, and more to the point would, do the rewinds - a dying art sadly.
The theory is pretty simple but my fear was always loosing track of the plotting out of windings as I unwound them and not knowing what had to go back in which slot :bugeye:
I suppose iPhone cameras nowadays reduces that risk.

Try this one, there several others advertising in "Automobile" magazine.
