[QUOTE="Riggy, post: 81314, member: 71"] The motors used in drills etc are parallel wound commutator motors, I.e. dc motors, but they operate happily on ac as well. Can't remember why that type of motor is used tbh. Long time since I was at college! Keep your fault finding simple continuity test each section indvidually: flex, switch, motor, etc. As others have said, probably flex, most likely at end of flex support so if flex is open circuit chop 100mm off end and try again!
