Electric motors are relatively simple
mechanical devices, but rewinding the
coils on a DC motor is a precise task that
should only be undertaken by those who
with experience in mechanical or electrical
repair. A mistake or poorly-performed
rewind job will result in a motor that
doesn’t work. At that point, your only
options are to buy a new motor or to take
it to a professional shop for repair. Given
the variety of motors and types of
windings, this can only be a general article
on rewinding. If you don’t understand the
terminology, you shouldn’t be rewinding a
motor; once you start removing the
original coils, there’s no going back.
