??? Ralph how do those motor bearings feel , How did the motor
sound was there any whining on the brush side ?
??? I'm kinda thinking? that ya may also have a bearing on it's
way out . I'm kinda wondering ifin some of those brush grindings
got into the bearing . I seem to recall that those bearings aren't
that expensive . To me them brishing would have to be moving in
order to bend the brush mounts & that points me to a loose
bearing that's letting the armature shaft to move .

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
