Ralph,?
That is a massive misalignment!
Is that glued in place or?
is that some kind of sealer, or?
did it deform from running hot!
.
You're on track for something!??
Send us a photo of the whole
motor(including the labels if present),?
maybe someone has a spare cover/holder
in case this one can not be repaired/corrected.
.
Goodluck,
John

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.
Ralph
