I have a BOSCH 4000 table saw which spins very slow. I opened the motor took out the field to examine. When I tried to reassemble it, I faced some problem. There are two wires from field, one connects to the Brush Holder. I am not sure where the second one goes. To the second brush holder or to be connected to Control Board?

There is 4 wires from the field, 2 reds a white and a black. the reds have spade connectors on them, they go to the brush holders. The white goes to the white on the speed controler and the black goes to the black on the speed controller. There is one wire from the speed control that goes on to one of the brush leads, there is a small adapter that allows both wires to be connected. If the motor spins very slow then the field is faulty and needs replaced.

Hope this helps

    The Field Windings are positioned around the armature which it spins in. Its attached to the inner outer wall of the motor housing.

Weakness of this saw is sawdust and debri entering the cooling ports of the motor causing intermittent contact of brushes which damages the motor speed control board ($40.00). Don't ever operate this saw with out a vacuum saw dust extraction system. Also when you replace the Speed control board also replace the Brushes ($6.00).
You can bypass the speed control board (if you want to disable this wonderful engineering feature by attaching black and white power wires directly to the black and white wires to motor.

Blow motor out regularly with compressed air !!

Bosch 4000 table saw motor does not turn, very stiff

Possibly something has jammed inside the motor housing although unlikely.
Electric brake seized perhaps?
Carbon brushes need replaced?

These saws (and the newer 4100) have a history of motor problems, with the field winding and electronic motor speed control being the most common points of failure. If you go to an online tool parts supplier like toolpartsdirect- Bosch 4000 saw you will see a list of the parts available, as well as the most commonly ordered parts.

Bosch 4000 table saw motor schmatic

http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bosch-4000-0601476139-table-saw-parts-c-128_167_168.html
I have found the most common issue is a bad field with the second being a bad rear armature bearing and last being a bad speed control.
Most of the time slow speed or even running backwards is a bad field (part #2 on the breakdown) #1619PA5590
Remove the cap on the end of the motor & the 2 carbon brushes.
Remove the 4 screws holding the motor to the frame and pull it straight off.
Check the bearing on the end of the armature to ensure it is not frozen or stiff. If it is also check the rubber boot that sits over the bearing and the motor housing itself to ensure it is not melted.

Bosh 4000 table saw runs backward and at low speed

I've worked on some table saws with problems like you describe, a couple needed a new speed control unit (Bosch PN 2610997306) in the motor. If all the wiring to and inside the motor is OK and not shorting out anywhere, that's the next part you should look at.

The speed control on your table saw works by sensing what's going on in the field. If you replaced the speed control circuit board and the motor still runs out of control, the next item to replace is the field.

Just replaced speed control unit and saw still spins at very slow rpm, guessing 20-30. any other possibilties. any way to check if new control unit is no good?

With the saw unplugged, turn the saw blade.
If it turns easily with no hangups I would guess its the field.
When mine went bad the blade went backwards very slowly.
I replaced only the field and not the armature and it's worked fine for over 2 yrs.

Right now I have it apart to change an armature bearing which was completely frozen up.

Bosch 4000 DIY 5-6 years old - My saw was working fine and then slowed up, I turned it off and the blade would not move freely, and I did smell a little burn. I took it to a Bosch service, and they told...

The reason they couldnt get the armature out is the field has probably melted around it a little. BUT not to worry. Remove the motor housing and with the assembly remove the brush caps. Turn the fan slightly and you will see 2 usually phillips screws that hold the field in the motor housing, remove them and then you can GENTLY tap the armature and field out of the housing, after you get it out a bit you will have to remove the wires from the field to the brush holders. After removing inspect the motor housing for damage from the heat. You will have to buy a new field and armature, and brushes. When replacing the armature make sure to replace the bearings. If you need any more assistance let me know and I will try and help.

Hi, I need a replacement motor for my Bosche 4000. Have you got one? Thx Al Benting

I would start at the following site:
http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bosch-4000-0601476139-table-saw-parts-c-128_167_168.html

They don't have the complete motor but certainly have the parts needed to ge the motor back in operation. They have the brushes, the field and the commutator plus other items related to operation. I would also recommend reading some of their articles (like a forum) that gives problems and solutions.

Good luck.

Bosch 4000 Table Saw running backward

You can find the 4000 manuals and parts diagram at bosch tools online. You will need a new armture Bnew bushes and possibly field. I would also replace the bearings and motor speed control circuit board.
Bosch does not sell the motor assembly.
Turn unit upside down and remove the Plastic body - approx 6 screws.
Thake a digital camera and take LOTS of pictures of dissassembly as you will need them later. Blow unit clean and work neatly keeping all parts in labeled bins for reassembly. Don't attempt this job when your pressed for time.
Before you start check to see if this machine is still under warranty!!
Call customer support listed on website if you run into a problem.
Good Luck !!

Bosch table saw model 4000. Brushes where sparking alot .

It sounds like the armature is gone, if you are lucky the field coil is ok. Pull the back of the motor off and have a look at the armature where the brushes run if it looks burned or really rough the armature is gone and must be repalced.

My Bosch 4000 table saw blade spins very slow. What the problem would be?

could be bearings locking up/seizing or do you smell any burning when running indicating the armature/field are burnt from possibly overloading with a dull blade.
