Thanks for the help. I will have to clear a space to dismantle the lathe for further inspection. That will not be easy! Ralph [email protected]> wrote:

The holders should be fixed firmly to the end cap, and lined up directly to the one on the other side. The brush should have just enough clearance to slide in & out, but not wobble about. I think

One can also take a hacksaw blade and use that to clean out the insulation. Some may require a bit of modifying to fit properly. george

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

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

I picked up a armature lathe many years back at a yard sale . I asked the guy how much for te armature lathe & he said " is that what that is " . He gave it to me cause I was the only guy out of 50-75

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

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

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

Excellent examples of how to do, what to see before and after, and when to stop! go GO *GO* Ralph!

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

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

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

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:

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

That is a commutator in desperate need of help. george

Here is a video viewing the commutator and brush holder. I used a Andonstar Microscope to get the video. ( https://andonstar.com/product/andonstar-ad203-handheld-portable-microscope/ )
