    I also mentioned this on the patreon, but a tight sliding fit is exactly what you want on the rear bearing. The rotor must be constrained radially by the rear bearing but it must be free to slide axially to allow the rotor to expand and contract with temperature changes. Only the front bearing is used to locate the rotor axially. If both bearings are trying to locate the rotor axially you will get large axial loads on the bearings when the rotor gets nice and toasty.

    I would love to see the "36v" brushless recip saw apart! I've had mine foe a year or so and love it. It is definitely powerful and built like a tank, I was using it up in a forklift man basket outside and stupidly needed that extra inch and open the gate. It was snowing and slick as shit up there i went to grab the saw and lean out slipped and fell out of the damn thing lucky i was holding onto the foreskin part of the saw and it was hanging by the built in hook on the rail of the basket and sure enough I held onto that thing for dear life 20' above concrete and the saw didn't break and I was able to pull my scrawny 150 pound ass back into the basket.

    The big aluminum and potted controller is almost certainly the motor controller. You can't see mosfets on the potted side because they are probably mounted to the other side of the board and pressed up to the aluminum heatsink for dissipation. Then there are the three thick wires for the three phase to the BLDC motor.

    Big fan of Makita. I have Dewalt, Craftsman, Makita, and Milwaukee battery powered tools. I use my Makita, and Milwaukee tools at work in the aircraft industry. My Makita drill (5 years) and impact (10 years) have been indispensable. The only failure I've had was the charger after 5 years. The Milwaukee (1/4 drive ratchet) came about 3 years ago. Awesome tool and well used without problems. My Dewalt (5 years) and Craftsman (8 years) drills are home use and so far no problems, but have never been used in harsh ways. I do a lot of research before I make a purchase and luckily its worked for me.

    I've been really impressed with all of the 'sub compact' tools Makita has put out thus far. This saw particularly. Nice to see the innards, it feels plenty solid in use but seeing why this is so is reassuring. Would love to see you do a BOLTR on the sub compact rotary hammer. It has some kind of pneumatic impact mechanism which seems strange to me, but the thing works really well. For tapcons and sub 1/2" holes in concrete its the best rotary hammer I've used. Its as light, or lighter than others 12v tools to boot.

    I once bought 30 Milwaukee hand drills for my guys in NYC. After having each guy sign for them they went on their merry way. After about 40 some days the shop steward set up a meeting with me to inform me that the drills do not conform to their union guidelines and would all have to be returned. I asked him why he waited all this time to tell me and his reply was " I just took mine out of the box and noticed the problem". The "problem" was that it had a hold down trigger and this was unsafe in the union's eyes. Sooo I sent out a message to the guys that they would have to return the "problem drills". Well ( I hope your still with me ) the drills started to come back. Forget about the boxes, forget about the beautiful gleaming chucks the nice red handles now I had a pile of used equipment, all signed with their names, on the handles, with permanent marker. Needless to say the vendor would not take them back. My gorillas are lighter then yours weighting in about 250 lbs. We are talking about union steam fitters. Well how did it turn out ? They received the new union approved drill plus their "used" drill, for home use only ! Except for the shop steward, I was able to return his, with the box and he did received the new approved drill !!!

    The capacitor is actually to protect the MOSFETs from the batteries, or more accurately the wires connected to the batteries. Those wires have inductance, so when the power is switched off by the MOSFET (which happens a lot- the PWM carrier will be 2 kHz or higher) the voltage will spike as the magnetic field collapses. This can easily be enough to overvolt and blow up the MOSFET, so they add a capacitor to smooth it out.

    Great video. Hey What would you say would be the cause of one of these to keep cutting out. I had it to a shop and they said a controller. I looked up controllers and there are two of them. One is about $90 and the other is about $200. The tool barely has any hours on it but unfortunately it is off warrantee now but I'd really like to fix it myself (shop said it wasn't worth it). The problem started after cutting drywall overhead. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for the time.

    The bearing fit is probably quiet loose on purpose. When the motor gets hot the shaft lengthens and would cause additional axial load on the bearing. All the axial position is defined by the upper bearing, the lower one is just for radial forces.

  • @texasdeeslinglead2401

    The biggest flaw I've seen on my Dewalt 20v tools is that sorry rail design for the batteries to slide in and out of. I'm absolutely tired of jerry rigging the plastic with a soldering iron to get better connections. Beyond pissed at trying to cup the battery with one hand while trying to saw through pvc pipe.
    Even more disconcerting is the fact the tools and batteries are in a plumbing van in south east texas. I have the original batteries from five years ago. They still work.....if I cup em.

    @overdrivesgarage7030 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the radio control vehicle world, the capacitor(s) are used to protect the circuitry in the esc, not the battery, from ripple voltage. 21:33 you can see it's a 4 pole motor (interesting magnet retention system btw) meaning each of the 3 phases is firing 4 times per revolution. You can see this creates a situation where battery voltage is fluctuating rapidly which, according to an esc engineer, creates some nastiness that electronics don't always like. The lower the quality of the battery, the more ripple voltage which equals more nasty noise/harmonics electronicals don't like. Capacitors smooth this out and provide a nice little kick at motor startup as well.

    You have to let one of the two bearings float (maybe preloaded with a wavy washer) due to elongation of the shaft due to temperature change. And that electrolytic cap is probably there to provide a well of current for the brushless drive to pull from during transient peaks of torque demand.
