Repairing a Festool TS55REQ with a burnt out motor. Full dismantle and rebuild.

- This festool plunge saw has seen a few to many hot suppers.
The motor burnt out, but the customer kept going until it also burnt up the field, brush holders and housing.
These festool saws are expensive to buy, but replacing all these parts still worked out less than half the cost of a new one.
Festools can be quite complicated to work on, and the handle on this model has quite a few levers and springs that need to be assembled just right.

3 days and the Festool haters and Festool fanboys have yet to leave five thousand comments. A nice change of pace.
And to all the idiot framers leaving stupid comments: ITS NOT A FRAMING SAW - ITS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO BREAK DOWN SHEETS WITH A GUIDE RAIL. And for that specific purpose to which it was designed - it works extremely well and is actually quite hard to kill. You cant go to site anywhere in europe without seeing them absolutely everywhere. And for good reason. They're not easy to kill - it takes patience and effort to burn a motor like that ....
You put a saw like that on a UK job site and contractors will burn it out on day 1.... Very specific job they do and bulk work isn't it... Weird how a £150 DeWalt wouldn't melt the holders clean out with alittle hard work 😂
The motor fit into the housing is a very good one!
Thx. This really helped me to fix my saw.
Buring out a saw like this now thats an achievement they completely melted the motor
Id hate to see the fireworks that saw threw out to cause all that damage lol
Fantastic
I cant help thinking that Liam Neeson is narrating your videos 🙂
Hello how did you disconnect the shaft with the fan on it?
Hey Dean any suggestions on if the motor is sparking when running it?
How did you get the rotor/amerture out of the chasis?
Heat bushing with hot air gun and tap out
Some people manage to break everything with brute force. I just wonder: is there no temperature sensor near the motor to shut the saw off and save it from burning out?
In what way would that be beneficial to the manufacturer?
I think they can't really do that because there is many parts that can be damaged by heat so it's difficult for the manufacturer to put effective thermometers so they put 0 because otherwise if anything burn the customer could claim the machine is faulty since it is supposed to stop itself when overheating and get a refund. IDK it's just my bs theory.
@dean Doherty, do you have any advice on whether the fields should be replaced at the same time as the armature if the fields appear to be fine? My armature has an obvious burn spot, but nothing else does.
no, unless the field is also discoloured, burnt or melted, it should be fine.
Where did you buy your parts from. I’m from Canada
How much did these parts cost in total?
Well not owning any festool equipment I don’t have a dog in this race but the equipment doesn’t look like it was meltreated but all that plastic doesn’t allow for good heat transfer
festool is proper stuff, Maffel is the peak, they even invented it :) but they cost
What was he doing with her, riding on her so that everything melted????
Was that Warrantee work ? Must have been expensive!
No I don't do warrenty repairs for festool. I wouldn't be a fan of festool but their spare parts are very well priced. So replacing a motor is well worth it.
I have one of those saws and they are incredibly accurate on a track. Very expensive tool, but well worth it if you build fine furniture. I can’t believe that someone burned it up like that!
Well....what caused the it to be in a condition like that , he must have been cutting hardwoods with that blade , pushing it hard or not letting the saw do the cutting .
The control board is pretty overzealous on that tool (although the thermal shutoff is bit slow compared to recent cordless tools, heard of people torching the 110v models before the thermal switch kicked in). Didn’t get a clear view of the field windings. Extreme weather conditions or a hard enough drop could crack some copper wire and bob’s your uncle.
I hate to think how much €€€ that repair cost in parts
I agree but worth fixing these original models as the new ones are not as good.
Around 290 euro but the cost to replace the machine is nearly 600 euro, he posted this on his TikTok and stated prices
@@trigHow are they not as good? I’ve got a TSC 55 KEB and it’s way better than this saw. It has much better balance due to the batteries offsetting the motor weight, and it also has antikickback stop which definitely works as it has worked for me on a few occasions. I absolutely love my saw and think it was worth every penny..
TS55REQ poor plastics and design of waste hose swivel mech compared to the earlier saw of the same model. Safety switch wears with time and binds. My first saw, early model, lasted 5 years the second revised/improved model lasted two & half years doing 6M of rip cutting in 35mm thick european oak per working day. I have just purchased a new TS55REQ and I cant see that there has been any improvement in the plastics or design but this will only tell with time.@@HarveyJohnWillmott
@@trigWhere do you get 6m long oak boards in europe?
how much was this repair including labour ? thanks
What the feck have they done to do that damage ? Is there no respect for power tools or do they have too much money 😢
More like a girlfriend driving a BMW Roadster in a hurry down the freeway ignoring blinking check engine light until the engine blows up. That could be half the cost of a new BMW as well.
Very expensive non-skookum tools.
then explain to me how my 15 year old festool saw is still running with no issues with every day use almost allday long

The old industry is very strong the opposite of the current industry.
Old festool is not the same current festool
I personally can't stand festool metric arbor and the plunge saw I used had a build in breaker that shut motor off in order to protect it. Don't bring these saws to a construction site you will get your ass kicked
I have the atf 55e im sure it 25 years old the motor is still fine but the pivot pin and bushings have worn i just ordered them the shipping was more then the parts
