Hi,

I had a mishap with my Makita RT0701C router and it burned up . I found the right replacement parts online but there are two looped coils, one that is attached to the field (see picture below) and one that is attached to an orange wire going to a wire nut that connects it to two white wires. I can't find these replacement coils and I don't know what they are called. Can anyone here tell me what they are called and if possible a part number or what to shop for?

I thank you for any help you can provide in advance.

Best Regards,
Edwin van Doorn

Hi All,

Looks like they come with the stator, and I would guess that they are to "ground" the rotor. View attachment 403866

Thank you Brian for posting this. I think the stator is the same as the field in the diagram I found on the Makita website although they aren't shown in that overview. I spoke to Makita today as well as to a local repair shop for Makita (found on their website) but neither recognized the parts or could tell me which part they should come with. I do have to replace the field so I'll order that and see if it comes with the coils. If not, I'll probably hobby-Bob something together since I don't see any use for those coils other than being removable as opposed to being soldered on. I think I can achieve the same think with a small connector and the other end soldered to the brush holder. I have nothing to lose so I'm simply going to try that once the other parts come in.

To Reuelt, thank you for your input but it's definitely not part of the speed pot since that part is still funtional and undamaged.

To JW2170 and Old55, thank you for your warm welcome messages.

Thank you Reuel for the diagram. How is your experience with the clone router? Those are certainly cheaper than the original.

Malb, thank you for your insights. I'll definitely keep the polarization in mind. I did mark the field and bracket to identify the orientation of the field and identify the location of each coil. I'm still wondering why nobody (including Makita Tech Support) knows how to obtain the coils... I found that fix.com sells the armature and the field for a total of about $50 and other sites that are quite a bit less than that so rebuilding the original Makita router is still cheaper even than buying a clone. I did get a new router already to keep moving forward but want to keep the repaired one as a spare.

Best Regards,
Edwin
