Repairing a Hitachi G23SS Grinder, full head restoration is needed.

Started this repair thinking it was only going to be a simple leaded and plug needed.
So, I started filming for a short time to show how you would tell us a tool was 110v or 240v.
As here in Ireland and in the UK, the main power is 240v, but all site power and tools are 110v for safety.
So we can get tools in both 110v and 240v.
Turned out the bolts holding the top bearing came loose also, and stripped out the bolts and the alu head.
A common problem, but an easy fix.
Also, the brush caps were broken and had to be smashed out and replaced.

Your work reminds me of some 15 years ago when i did the same kind of work in a large company with many bricklayers, carpenters and other related to house building. Carpenters dropping compressors from the back of their vans, and also frequently dropping cordless tools from roofs. I had plenty of work to do, but then a company persuaded my boss that it was much cheaper to let them do the work maintaining the tools. So i got laid off but they where never able to fix the tools as quick as i could as an external company. Half a year later the company contacted me to see if i would come back, but it was to late, i had moved on. But to see you doing this work brings me back to some great time in my life. Thanks for the video.

Lol they messed up. Maybe you could've negotiated higher pay, since you were so useful

I wish we had a guy like you. But the company went full Hilti years ago before I joined and we are almost 200 employees now, so it is how it is. If I had a say in things we would just buy Bosch and Makita and maintain and repair our tools ourselves or well just have me do it since we dont break tools a lot so the amount of repairs and servicing would be manageable for me. A day a week or so.

I do the same job as you. I see that this drill has been refurbished and runs very well. Your skills are very professional. The end result is amazing. Well done. Thanks a lot.

@deandohertygreaser 7 ай бұрын

Stainless steel and aluminium can react with each other and corrode when they are exposed to water. If they do, there is no change of the to bolts coming loose again.

This may be a stupid question but why would you have a 110V machine in the UK?

@midimix 7 ай бұрын

110V tools are commonly used on construction sites because their lower voltage presents less risk of electric shock if a tool is damaged or a wire is cut. This is particularly beneficial in construction settings, where damp conditions and rough handling make such accidents more likely.

@sopissedoff 7 ай бұрын

If u try renting a machine from a hire company in the UK ,Most r 110v and they will give u a transformer, Safety first

@alouisschafer7212 2 ай бұрын

110V center tapped site transformers. Thats what you hook your 110V machines up to. The center tap is earthed so in the event of a current path to earth presumably trough someones hand and feet its only a 55V shock.

Nobody who uses these grinders gives a shit about cleaning them, because they will get dirty within 10 minutes of use. I certainly wouldn't want to pay anyone for his time to clean a grinder when I bring it in for repair, it's a waste of money and time.

@@stevenalmelo This is many years dirt. The air blowing lasts about 10 seconds, and cleaning with a parts washer takes about 5 minutes. I would do it for free.
