Carbon Brush (2 Required

This is an authentic Milwaukee replacement part. Carbon brushes are used in the chop saw to transfer electricity from outside the motor to the spinning armature in the motor. This is how the motor gets power. Due to the friction they endure these brushes will wear down over time, this is why they are one of the most common parts you will need to replace in your chop saw. Signs your carbon brushes might be worn down are that the motor is running intermittently, there are electric breaking issues, and engine is experiencing reduced power. This carbon brush comes with wire lead and brush spring attached. This carbon brush is sold individually, however some motors require two carbon brushes; we recommend you replace both at the same time, even if only one is worn out. To determine how many you need for the motor in your power tool we recommend you refer to model specific diagrams. When you are replacing a carbon brush be sure to inspect the armature, if there are burns, cracks, or other signs of damage this might indicate a bigger problem with the motor. Before attempting repair on your power tools make sure they are unplugged.
