Mike, . I have never seen one of these and this unit clearly has a label identifying its'-self. Is this your actual lathe or similar to yours? What does the motor do? Help with balancing? Missing a

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
Ralph, . The belt is either easy or almost impossible. Measure the teeth, each 1 tooth + the empty space, then 10 teeth + spaces and then divide by 10, to improve your accuracy over measuring just 1

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
Jon, that is why I am "thinking" of using one of the Consew motors I have. I was shocked by the price of a new motor from Little Machine Shop. If it comes down to having to spend money I might just

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
Ralph, . This is an excellent idea, but it is not plug-n-play. You need to create a motor mount, and a matching drive pulley as your original pulley will not fit. You probably can not make it fit

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
Ralph, , You should remove the motor endcap nearest the brushed, then install the brushes as they were and see what is going on with them. Things will be a little bit loose, but you should see why the

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
You don¡¯t need to turn it, you just need to clean it. By turn I meant put it in the chuck and spin it by hand, holding the sandpaper in the other. Here¡¯s some good pictures showing the

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
My other lathe is not running so I cannot turn the commutator. That commutator does look kinda rough. What is the belt? I am "thinking" of replacing the motor with one of the Consew 3/4 hp Brushless

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
You really should use a non-conductive abrasive. There are special commutator cleaning stones available, lacking one of those, old fashioned flint sandpaper (extra fine) also works. An X-Acto razor

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
I would make one small addition to this. When rotating the commutator with sandpaper in the lathe, put something down to keep any abrasive off the bed. Mike Taglieri [email protected]> wrote:

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
You really need to check if that holder is bent or loose. That commutator shouldn¡¯t be the that black. Or any sort of black really, it needs cleaning. Doing both isn¡¯t too hard. You need to

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
Ralph, . To *remove* the belt, YES remove everything, everything is in the way. . *_To dis-engage the belt, just loosen the motor mount bolts until the motor is loose and shift the motor sideways
