billkater Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I have a DW514 hammer drill. I started having to spin the drill to get it to take off some times. I thought it was a bad brush. I took the drill apart and it looks as if the armature has a bad spot. See the picture. Repair or replace?Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 looks like that might not be that easy to replace..... http://www.ereplacementparts.com/dewalt-dw514-type-200-rotary-hammer-drill-parts-c-1009_2700_2547.html welcome to the forums ....

billkater Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I saw that diagram. Armature is $100, brushes $14 for the pair. If you can find them. Replacement drill $170 or soSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Expensive fix for a fix. Especially if you cannot dial in the problem 100%. It looks like that's the problem but what if it's not the whole issue? Is there any chance it could be in conjunction with something else? If there is that possibility that should make the decision a little easier to make. Hey, welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Unfortunately things aren't meant to be so easily serviced these days either because of expensive parts or difficulty actually doing the repair.... Then sometimes you have to buy a whole assembly to get what you want, in my case it was the clothes dryer I had to just move on and get a new one.... How old and was it exposed to rain or extremely dusty conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 You mentioned brushes, so even if it were a cheap, easy, or whatever fix it may be in your best interest to get a brushless model because of the motor gets hot less quickly, it has better runtime, and is more powerful.

billkater Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 How old and was it exposed to rain or extremely dusty conditions?10 plus years old. And it a hammer drill. Always used in a dusty condution. As far as rain. Shouldn't have been.I think replace the whole thing. Parts far and few between.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Looks like it stalled on that spot and burnt out the commutator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Not worth the time to fix it. Just go purchase a new bare tool off of Ebay for about he same as cost in parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 if its 18 volt dewalt I suggest upgrading to 20 volt and brushless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkater Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 It is a 110volt. Not a battery drillSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 If you're hellbent on staying with the cords I'd buy this and have parts to switch between the both of them that you can repair yourself. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dewalt-DW514-Corded-Heavy-Duty-26-mm-SDS-Rotary-Hammer-Works-Properly-/182264409126?hash=item2a6fce2c26:g:PPsAAOSwtnpXoOZA If you'd consider upgrading and I recommend it, get a bulldog man...it's a much better machine and design at an affordable price. https://www.amazon.com/11255VSR-BULLDOG-Xtreme-SDS-plus-D-Handle/dp/B000BB79Q6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1474324927&sr=8-3&keywords=bulldog+SDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 That works too, same difference. Not sure if you had the twist chuck or what with the old one but if you're not familiar with SDS make sure to use lubricant in small amounts frequently, things get ridiculously hot very very quickly causing premature wear and even breakage. You're going to be very pleased with the difference, there's no comparison between hammer drill and SDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMEN!! You can say that again!! "You're going to be very pleased with the difference, there's no comparison between hammer drill and SDS. " Says HughJass Ha I still grin everytime I pull my sds drill out, thinking I used to be content with forcing a weak hammer drill against concrete to do a job with a mechanism that was probably thrown in as an afterthought lol!
