Thanks for the tips, Graham, and for the great story about the AA battery. (Would love to have that ’59 Norton today. Wow!) Yes, this tool has a thermal overload wired into a voltage regulator, but thankfully that appears to be working. This tool will have an easy retirement life in my garage – it’s not often that I need an angle grinder, but it will be nice to have when I need to cut a hunk of metal off something, or smooth out a weld.

I would saw open AA battery remove the carbon rod cut it in two, they were a pefect fit in my magneto.,it beat having to buy a high priced set from Lucas. Glad the grinder worked out good ,some tools have whats called a thermal overload wired into the armature winding which can be removed it that fails and the two wire ends soldered back together. I did that with a vacuum cleaner. They fall for many reasons, one of which is the overloads are a one time overload, they don’t reset. Keep looking for that next project ! Graham
