Dewalt 705

[turbetjp]

I have a Dewalt 705 Type 3 Miter saw. I would have to pull the trigger multiple times to get it to start. When I replaced the switch and plugged it in to test, the motor smoked and would not run. I took the motor apart and the field part has burnt wires (winding) on one side of the field. Is it worth replacing the field(approx. $50) or is it a lost cause and time to get a new saw? Thanks.

Hi turbetjp,

I think I would do it. The DW705 was about a $325.00 saw. My only concern is that there could be other problems. I think I would have a shop test both the armature armature and the field. If the armature were also bad then you might have to think twice before going forward with the repair.
