BRUSH & SPRING

$11.56

Fix Number: FIX18993274
Manufacturer Part Number: N119739

This part includes one carbon brush with a wire lead and brush spring attached. If the motor of your tool is running poorly, a common cause of this is a worn carbon brush. Carbon brushes should be inspected regularly because they are prone to wear due to friction. If you notice burning or smoke during the use of the tool, it is important to check not only the brushes, but the armature as well.

Sander Pad & Backing Plate

$9.55

Fix Number: FIX10166489
Manufacturer Part Number: 151284-00SV

This is an OEM sander pad and backing plate for a sander. It is most commonly replaced due to sudden uneven sanding or difficulty keeping the sandpaper properly attached. This part includes a steel plate with a foam pad fixed to it. The foam pad gives grip for the sandpaper to adhere firmly within the clamps. This foam material is prone to deteriorate over time, causing irregular sanding. If the pad is so worn that the metal plate is making contact with the paper, the sander will start to jump around. This is a very quick and easy repair. Simply remove the four screws holding the old pad in place, line up the the holes of the pad with the holes in the plate, and tighten the four screws back up (screws sold separately).

BELT

$6.51

Fix Number: FIX18987939
Manufacturer Part Number: 903373

This is an OEM random orbit belt, also known as a clutch belt. This part is the mechanism that stops the pad from continuing to spin once it has been removed from the surface you are working on. If this belt is busted, the pad will spin uncontrollably when removed from your work piece. When the pads are turning fast like this, it could easily damage the wood you are working on. Removing the sanding pad and replacing this belt is a novice repair that should only take a few minutes to complete.

Power Cord

$27.56

Fix Number: FIX10169875
Manufacturer Part Number: 330072-98

This power cord is used for power tools and some of the following tools: electric drills, reciprocating saws, jig saws, biscuit joiners, and routers. The power cord is made for double insulated tools and is a two-wire cord with two prongs, but it does not need a ground wire. If there are cuts in the cord insulation, intermittent power during operation, or damaged and bent prongs, then replacing the power cord will solve the problem. The tools needed for this repair are a Phillips screwdriver, small screwdriver, wire cutters/strippers, crimping tool, and terminal (ring or spade). Repair tip: During installation, remember that new cord wires must go correctly into wire terminals. Also, to avoid pinching when the tool case is put back into place, remember to route cord and wires in the right path.

Manufacturer Part Number: N031636

This OEM part includes one carbon brush in metal housing. A worn or damaged brush will lead to motor issues and should ideally be replaced before this happens. It is a good idea to continue to inspect the brushes and replace as soon as they appear tarnished in any way. This is also an opportune time to inspect the armature for burns or cracks.
