This sucker squeeked and searched until finally causing a permanent E-stop in this little 3016. We took it apart and here is the report:
Seems like this can be rebuilt easily if I had the parts. The two support bearings were SHOT SHOT SHOT! This allowed the main body to grind on the permanent magnets on the inside of the housing. We also got major wear on one of the internal brushes. The yellow aluminum piece sanpped on dissasembly and one of the small magnets turned up missing. Here are the pics...doesnt it seem easy to fix when its apart? ..LOL Hope we can fix this with some forum help!
Where can we find parts for these.
