I have had a Milwaukee drill (the one with 1200 lbs torque) with a clam plate and 7″ laser bit for several years and recently it’s been shutting off on me, like timing out? I let it sit for a few minutes and it works just fine again. This was an intermittent problem the other day as it did it on several occasions while drilling holes. Anybody else have this issue?
Never owned the drill but if u keep having the prob i would check with milwaukee and see if its under warranty. Warranty period is usually 5 years their customer service is fantastic.
What do you mean by timing out? Is it shutting itself off while in use? If the battery lights flash when that happens it’s because the current draw has exceeded capacity.
Possibly blades getting dull? Possibly battery getting old and weak?
What battery are you using?
I’m using the 5 amp hr batteries I’ve used since new. The bit is still pretty sharp. If I stay on the trigger it doesn’t stop. But sometimes when I let off it just decides to not work for awhile.
Sounds like it is overheating.
Can’t be overheating, sometimes it does it on the first hole.
Most likely, either the drill or the battery is overheating.
Could also be the trigger isn’t receiving a good contact and needs to be disassembled and cleaned.
Or, the battery contacts are dirty
