I have the motor off the lathe and have cleaned up the comutator, which I have a bunch of question.
But thought I show the brush holder first.
As you can see the brush holder has gotten hot and is now missaligned.
Possible I can make up a wood stick the size of the brush and heat the brush holder up realign every thing.
If I had the time mounting one of my Consew 3/4 hp motors would not be that difficult.
Or I could just buy a new lathe, I am thinking about moving up to 8 x 16.
Thanks for the replies.
