Dewalt sawzall

[RevJSorrells]

I have two dewalt sawmills that I purchased for $10 and both have issues. The first freezes up when you try to run it, on top of smoking and sparking. When frozen and the trigger is engaged, nothing happens. If you manually (pry) the blade holder up, it will run while smoking and sparking.

The second one sounds good but does not move the blade.

Any help appreciated. I would like to combine the two to make a working unit.

Smoke from a motor is bad news ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just too much draw and not enough cooling
rotating of a motor cools it ,,,,,,the bushes and armutor ,need to fit and move without restrictions ,,,,,,,,all this works good when bearings and bushes are new ,,,,,,as time goes by ,wear and tear takes the toll,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lots of time better to junk em and get new ,,,,,,but if push comes to shove ,,,,,,,,,look up the diagram and work from there ,,parts are parts ,depends on if you can put em back in ,,
On the one not moving .......sounds like Pin # 32 is missing
or broken
as the drive pusher moves it is not transmitting the power to the saw holder

Thanks for the reply. I like to tinker so I want to try to take parts from the second to make Frankenstein. I started tonight to dissamble but I am unable to get the blade holder off. I removed the metal nose but it will not slide off because of the blade holder on the shaft. Any idea how to remove?

Model DW303 part number 30, blade clamp kit. Can not figure it out.

Hi there Rev,
There is a cotter pin #27 that holds the blade clamp onto the shaft. If you take a narrow punch, you will be able to drive the pin out and the blade clamp will slide off of the shaft. Then the housing will be able to come off from around the grear casing. ( Just don't drop the pin and kick it under your workbench and lose it in the dust bunnies ) I hope this helps,
Gene

Thank you Gene! Used a big nail and it punched right out. The one I though was smoking is not, I am just able to smell the electrical parts. But hopefully now I can take the end parts out of this one and put in the second. If it works I think $10 for a Dewalt reciprocating saw is a good price, even used.

Project was a success. Now to start a new thread for the second. God is good. I have been waiting a long time for a corded sawzall!
