A very poor job done by someone who knows nothing about sanders. That poor sander deserves a better home. You reinforced my view that most DIY videos done by women are shallow and showcase their unwillingness to learn and do a proper job of it. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You had too much dust on top, that indicates an abnormal situation. There should NEVER be so much dust on top of a Dewalt Random Orbit Sander. It should be very clean. You NEVER, EVER blow out all that dust right back into the motor, esp with the dust collector still on and nowhere for that dust to go. This was so wrong. Vacuum that up and brush out the terminals and vacuum some move. There is a ton of dust under that on the motor and you just drove that dust deep into places it should not go. The sandpaper you are using has no holes in it, so the dust is not being vacuumed up into the dust collector and ending up in the wiring section. I cannot tell if you are using a sand net or sandpaper. The net needs no holes as it is full of holes, but the paper holes have to be aligned with the holes in the sander. This allows dust to go into the dust collector not on sander. What you did NOT DO: Verification of loose terminal wires on top, no checking of carbon brushes. Remove bottom Velcro pads - two of them, then unscrew the ball bearings and lubricate and clean them out. This is the primary reason it is running rough even after it works - you can hear it. Those bearings are dry and overheating the motor. In the newer sanders, you have to remove the two halves of the plastic casing and the screws that hold them together. This means removing some wires on top section from their terminals. Keep track with some paint on which half of casing goes on which half of motor. Now the whole motor is exposed, full of dust. Vacuum, brush, vacuum. DO NOT BLOW YET. Holding on to the commutator with clamping pliers you unscrew the Torx screw at the base holding the ball bearing section. Now you can access and clean the bearings and pack them with a bit of Silicone grease. Reattach. This will make your sander run smoothly again. Clean the commutator which has carbon dust residue and could use an alcohol cotton swab cleaning. Metal fins under the motor: vacuum, brush out, vacuum again. When everything looks very, very clean, vacuumed and brushed out, you can finally blow out all the hidden dust and more will come. Now your sander is new again. Power tools, need regular maintenance not just when they break down due to neglect. When you take the time to clean out your sander and making a video on it, dig deeper and do a complete job that is more useful than this. This was not very useful.

Amazing!!!

I followed your steps and they worked for me too!!! Thank you very much!

Sorry u said crap nuggets n it made me think of jp in grandma's boy adios turd nuggets. Me n my daughter say it to make each other laugh

Adios turd nuggets

You dont have to talk the whole time

Get off your ace and do it then

Im looking for a video to teach me the best way to cut a deck into two nightstand WITHOUT A BUNCH OF TALK TALK TALK.

Which colour to use? Please specify the details.

Hmm mine spins but as soon as it touches the wall it stops

Dewalt is launching this tool as a dust tight switch. When you opened the lid there was more dust than the Sahara everywhere. After all, what matters is that a dynamic and beautiful girl.

Bruh. Thank you💯💯💯. I was about to throw my battery Dewalt sander away. I cleaned it, and it WORKS NOW❤❤❤. THANKS AGAIN

Make sure you get as much of the dust out

1the on and of switch faulty .2 the brushes need changed ...3 Chech the cable with an oms tester

Relacement parts for Dewalt Sander

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! Thank you for posting this video. 💕👍🏼👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

yay!

Getting ready to work on mine for l real!

Hell ya! Glad you got it fixed!

Just a suggestion but I wouldn't recommend using power tools to take apart or put back together plastic things

Thank you!

But this is not bleaching is whitewash ing.

I also use compressed air to clean out some dust in exactly the same Dewalt sander. I also took out the magnets on the left and the right replace them straight back… It did not start. Took them out again place them back in and bingo off It went like a champion If the magnets aren’t situated and moving correctly, they won’t initiate the motor to spin

Wow you go !! Me .... never would even consider cutting it in 1/2. LOL awesome work.

Am wondering when you're going to pull out the volt meter. o_o

Well done! Was worried you'll be electrocuted 😮

Life’s little victories can be so rewarding. The little things can kill, they can also make you feelllike little school girl…

Beautiful!! I just picked up a vanity to turn into end tables since end tables all seem to be huge, and expensive.

Good job 👏 👍

Thanks 👍🏼

man i wish i still had a garage to turn into a little workshop. we moved to a house that is garage-less and it makes me sad. i suppose even before we moved, our garage was just a dump of never-to-be-touched 20 year old odds and ends that i wasnt allowed to get rid of to even make space for any potential workshop exploration. also i would recommend wearing a dust mask when sweeping up that much sawdust. the flick of the broom really kicks up a lot of fine particles into the air.

Thank you for your video! When you said you had an awesome knotty pine top that you scrubbed down, were you saying that you sanded it?

I want to keep the light wood color, so what sealer that would be waterproof but not make my tabletop a honey color? Thanks

Came from watching your ceiling being framed in

Cool but im looking for bleaching videos not white washing 😂

Great combo! Just the right mix of wood and color, and the detail on the front really shows off the character of the piece. Your instincts are spot on. Well done and thank you for sharing your skills.

Nice job! coming from... the Fixer channel.

Beautiful color combo!

I really hope you come back and post more videos! Your level of talent is incredible !

I know this is an old video, but what if your wood is orange?

Gm

Another great job! Love the blue color with the wood tones.

Absolutely beautiful, tables are too. 😁

Love it nice job.

New sub here, followed the link from the "The Fixer". Very nice job, and looking forward to seeing more.

You are very talented. The color and details and style are just beautiful.

Let me guess, Grandpa or Dad taught you a lot about tools and wood working. I enjoy your confidence in problem solving. I would love for you to teach us how to use a plainer for instance. You could actually teach us a lot. It would be appreciated. Great job on night stands. Thank you

thank you!

You are a force to be reckoned with!!! Great job. This dresser is gorgeous!!!

You ruined it.
