Brush and Spring

$6.86

Fix Number: FIX10116511
Manufacturer Part Number: N031635

This part includes one carbon brush with a wire lead and brush spring attached. A poorly running motor is often due to worn brushes, which is why they are such a common repair in power tools. Due to the constant friction they are under, they will wear over time, and will need to be replaced. If upon inspection you notice the carbon brush is burnt or otherwise damaged, you will also want to check the condition of the armature, as this might suggest a larger problem with the motor.

Manufacturer Part Number: 1313113

This is a carbon brush set for your power tools, most commonly your planer jointer. Two of these brushes are needed for most power tools, and this purchase only includes one. If you are having troubles with electric braking, or motor functions, you should replace your carbon brushes. We recommend replacing both brushes together, to create an even wear. This is a part that is replaced often in power tools because of the constant friction during operation. When making this installation we recommend inspecting the armature for visible damage that could prove larger motor issues.

Installation Instructions

Dwayne from Millville, NJ

Broken belt (motor runs, blade didn't turn)

1) Watched YouTube video before ordering parts to confirm my problem and to get an overview of the repair.
2) found 7-step instruction in user manual - worked perfectly (Part# 901608 (014) downloaded PDF) on page 26
Turned saw over and layed on two 2x8s to protect spindle and it case I dropped the saw. Use a helper if you have one but I did not need one.
3) inspected motor brushes per user manual (had spares ready) 4-step instructions (two brushes) on page 25
4) used stiff brush to clean parts and screw shafts while saw was upside down
5) re-assembled, tested saw, double verified that blade tilt was still at Zero degrees when return to 0 and fense and blade were still parallel.

Cleaning and testing took as long as changing the belt and inspecting brushes. Read more...

Bearing

$51.91

Fix Number: FIX10315390
Manufacturer Part Number: 1086894S

This ball bearing fits a variety of lawn and gardening tools. The ball bearings prevent friction between rotating parts. The balls do this by bearing the load and spin and distributing the weight equally, while the minimal contact area of the balls reduce friction. This allows your tool to run easily. Ball bearings are a commonly replaced part because of the constant wear they experience. Tip: check your bearings and replace them periodically. *Please note: they are sold individually.
