I just wanted to let everyone know that I have uploaded a new tutorial entitled "Brush Maintenance and Inspection for Universal Motors." This tutorial is compiled from posts by Bob Vaughan and myself in response to Buster's original request for assistance in the thread titled "Porter Cable Belt Sander Problem."
This tutorial includes extensive photos of actual universal motors and their brush assemblies. It also includes instructions for inspecting the commutator. If you have any questions regarding brush maintenance and inspection for your hand-held and portable power tools, this is a reference worth downloading and bookmarking.
The tutorial is available from the NCWW Download Library under the Tutorials section, or via hyperlink at:

REMINDER: Don't forget to rate the download after reviewing it.
I hope everyone finds this reference to be helpful in maintaing and repairing your universal motor equipped power tools.
