Glad it helped. Best.

Sure did...i went to use my tool today and it ran for 20 seconds and quit. I KZfaqD and this video, Ebayed and found the part...and its on its way !!!

Cool!

Thanks for the wonderful comment, it will surly help others.❤

Hi Rosemary, I'm glad it all worked out! Well done!

Hi Larry, thanks for your comment. I'm glad it worked out, it's a pretty simple repair and it's great that this part is still available. Best mycompasstv

Happy it all worked out. Thanks for commenting.

Howard Schwartz ...Surgical tubing and epoxy worked for me over ten years ago and it’s still going strong

not as good it needs the cogs to work properly and part is cheap still on amazon/ebay can get pack of 5 with shipping like 10$ its mostly an over load protection

Good tip, and great yard sale find. You now have a bullet proof drill that will last you much longer than the new models. Thanks for your comment. Best.

Bogweasel, you're right there's no need to remove the spring caps. And thanks of the info. on the star bit sizes, it will be helpful to others. Best.

@@mycompasstv So, why don't you go and add a brief text on the video to show that important piece of information?, because many DIYs don't have the Torx bits necessary to properly open the halves!

Thanks Sterlingstreamliner. You are right about the older Dremels like the model #395, it's a well built hobby workhorse. The rubber coupling is designed to break away if the motor comes under extreme stress. Also, the coupling is like a car tire made of soft pliable rubber so over time it eventually disintegrates. Unfortunately many owners do not realize it's an easy fix, so they simply throw out the drill thinking it's old and broken.

Thanks! 😄

Thanks for your comment and good luck harleyhearse, it's an easy fix.

Glad it all worked out and thanks for commenting. Best.

John, thanks for the info.

This is good to know and It will help others out. Thanks for your input.

That's great! Glad it worked out for you!

Thanks for commenting Jeffrey.

Thanks for commenting Rick. It's a common problem but luckily an easy fix.

Thanks Big Wanda Knows. It's always good to be prepared.

HEY THERE!... STOP! It could very well happen that your 1992 model 395 DOES NOT have a coupling at all! My 1994 one doesn't: it has a long shaft that begins at the rear extreme of the motor armature, and continues till the threaded end where the collet is attached, thus having NO short shaft and no bearings and no coupling like the one on this video has! You will need to open it to take a look Before ordering parts. DREMEL has been a lousy company that designs and redesigns their products many times, and a large number of their redesigns are done for the only purpose of making newer versions INCOMPATIBLE with their older accesories, so causing the owner to have to buy again if the older Moto Tool dies and the owner buys a newer one... that owner will find that many accesories will NOT fit on the newer models! A shitty business practice devised to extract as much money as possible from their loyal customers. Not only are their accesories very expensive for what they are, but many are badly designed too, like the almost useless drilling base, which has a too flimsy and free-play to perform a delicate drilling, and not to say anything good of their router bases too. After about 20 years of using my Dremel 395 and its lousy accesories, I became tired of its idiosyncrasies, refused to continue using them, and resorted to expend in a much higher quality MotoTool, the Proxxon IBS/E Professional Drill/Grinder, its EXCELLENT QUALITY and DESIGN MICROMOT MB 140/S Drill Stand, and their very good UHZ Universal Holder. Now, Those are miles above the DREMEL quality!

That's great news! 😀

Muna Salloum Thanks Muna.

I can not answer your question, perhaps someone else can. Thanks for commenting thou.

That's great, I'm glad it worked out James. Best.

Thanks Ian!

If you can jerry-rig a coupling like that then great. I did try that exact same procedure but found the plastic tube became too brittle it did not have the right elasticity so soon failed. If you have found a sutiable rubber tubbing material that works, then big kudos. DIY soluions are the best! 🤓

Thanks for commenting!

Thanks, I''m glad it worked out. Best

Marc I'm glad you found a cheaper alternative solution, lets hope others give it a try. Thanks for sharing your successful workaround!

@@mycompasstv Great video

Terrific, I'm glad it worked out. Thanks for commenting. Best.

It's a common problem, you can easily fix it. Good luck.

Thank you the fix worked great. I purchased two so I'll be ready for the next time.

Thanks fro commenting! 😀

+Joe Maloney Not sure, it should not get that hot, but perhaps the collet when spinning is touching the piece you are polishing creating friction and making it heat up.

Your'e welcome. Thanks for commenting.

You should be able to tell the position of the contacts due to their wear pattern, although it's not that critical as long as the motor spins freely. Sure, you clean the copper contact ring if it's dirty. but I'd just wipe or blow it clean. Make sure the parts are dry before re-assembly. Good luck Mark.

That's a great solution if it works!

If the gears are stripped the only solution is to find an old broken drill and swap parts. Otherwise it might be time for a new one.

😀

Thanks, good tip.

Make sure it's not just a piece of loose debris. Remove the housing, clean the motor and insides with compressed air.

mycompasstv no it sounds like a bearing rattling in it

@@michaelgannon334 I'm afraid that unless you can repack the small bearing, you're out of luck.

As you know a Dremel is not the right tool for cutting drywall. That said, you could try cleaning / blowing out the motor contacts. If that doesn't work it's probably fried. Good luck Jon.

The motor was fine by the drill stopped spinning so I replaced the coupling (part # 2615294309). Thanks for commenting.

The rubber part is designed to break under extreme stress so it does not burn out the drills motor. This would certainly occur if the part was made of metal or hard plastic. Thanks for commenting.

Good tip, thanks for watching and commenting Scotty.

Cool! 😎

Ok, don't do that.

Yes.

Yes, this old model 395 was close to perfect. Many manufactures of quality products seemingly change designs and models for the sake of change, not recognizing that all the history of R&D that made the original product so great came at a great cost and took generations to achieve perfection.

Add to that, the envelope was sent from only 3 miles away. In a nutshell, that's Canada for you! Thanks for commenting Paul.

@@mycompasstv there is a video on youtube for the same problem and the guy lived near Dremel he went down there being he lived near them and they gave him the part for nothing.

@@paulrobilotti9294 Hey, I wish I lived near Dremel. ;)

The rubber coupling when under extreme stress is engineered to 'break' to protect the motor from burning out, which is a good idea. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The coupling worked as it was intended, which is to disintegrate in order to protect the motor from burning out during excessive stress. It's in fact a brilliant, tried and true design. Yes, you are right it's an expensive replacement part, but what isn't these days. Thanks for your input Alfredo.

You're right. Thanks for commenting.

😄

I'm not familiar with that model, but a quick search of the part should yield results. Best of luck and thanks for commenting.

@@mycompasstv Hi , I ordered the same part then I open and it's completely different size. I call the number on the tool and they are discontinuing !

@@supercow61 That's a drag. Best.
