Repairing a Makita DGA506 cordless grinder that is seized.

This makita grinder can't even be switched on as the switch is also broken. The bottom bearing on the rotor has totally failed and is jammed agents the stator.
A new 607 bearing, and new switch and bit of paper is all it take to get this well used grinder up and running again.

Thank you for a very useful and easy repair guide 😊

This repair was a terrific display of your skills.
99% of shops would have scrapped it and sold the owner a new one. You are the 1% and I hope the tradesmen around the area know that and act accordingly.

Interesting repair, that piece of paper was clever!

[@arboretopalawan]

Freaking amazing. I'm going to try some packing on three, yup THREE, failed Brushless Makita's That's why I am considering buying DeWalt next time. But hey, thanks for a great video.

Great job Dean do you buy the bearings for the grinders from Makita or aftermarket?

[@robertrada4783]

💯!

[@lewigas290]

Do you recommend the Makita brand grinders over all other makes? Always thought Bosch were good but beginning to think otherwise. Notice you don’t get many Metabo or Fein grinders in .. is that because you don’t sell them or because they are good. Due an upgrade so would appreciate your valued opinion. Great vids and enjoy them all 👍

[@deandohertygreaser]

I find bosch grinders better than makita. Metabo are also good. They do a massive range ti chose from and have some very powerful ones also. Fine grinders are also very good but expensive

[@lewigas290]

@@deandohertygreaser Thanks for replying. I’ll stick with my Bosch then.. nearly weakened there lol
