Hope somebody can help or advise please and also hope this is the right place to post.
I have a Black and Decker drill (DNJ52-H30) with a circular saw attached. Using it the other day it started to smoke from the back so shut it down and the stripped it, cleaned the commutator and replaced the brushes.When I started it up the sparks from the brushes were like a catherine wheel.Can anyone advise is it dustbin time or have I missed something.
Thanks any help.

tomstickland,
Had a while now so can't remember the cost. Just wondered if it is worth keeping or do the brush sparks indicate something real bad wrong.0 -

Bin it and buy a new one ..the cost of repair would be more than a new one.

Could be that you have fitted the brushes back slightly differently to what they were.
Run it a while and the sparking might stop0 -
TBH you can pick up power tool sets that include both a drill and a circular saw for very good prices.
