A minor mishap killed the Labs drill press. Determined to revive it we set out to rewind the AC motor by hand. This must have been a labor of love because rewinding motors is no easy chore. After rewinding it 3 times due to some minor mishaps in the winding process ( a nick in the enamel, loose windings, etc.) we finally got it wound. Then the joy of putting it back together culminated with us not even having any parts left over! *What are the odds?* We fired the press back up and works like a charm. In the future we will be more careful, but it was exciting to get to get to wind a motor by hand for once.
