Just bought a miter saw. Cane with 2 spring had no idea what it was. Image searched on google and came to your video. So very useful! Thank you. All issues I've had with my other power tools could have just been a carbon brush 🤦♀️ very insightful .
thank you for the video about carbon brushes and commutator, can you please make the video about the field winding and its connection with carbon brush
Hi Sundar, thanks for the comment. We do cover how the DC motor works at a high level in this video: czcams.com/video/D5Vr4aWhPNk/video.htmlfeature=shared
Hi, I’ve got some problems in my Chicago chop saw motor. I bought it at a yard sale. The brushes are beat up a little but the big problem is that the little copper coils around the piece that the brushes are held are broken on one side. I don’t know what those coils are called and I don’t know how to take the motor apart to get to those part so I can replace them. Can you help me out or let me know how I can figure all that out? I appreciate your kind assistance. Have a blessed weekend.
Great question - it depends if you're referring to the springs that hold the brush in place, the commutator coils, or the copper wire connecting the brushes to power. If you're referring to the springs that hold the brush in place, those can be easily replaced. If the issue is the commutator or the copper wire connecting the brush to power, you may be better off to replace the motor. I hope this helps - let me know if you have any follow up questions.
@@emotorsdirect The covers that much be unscrewed to remove the brushes will not turn to the point that trying hard will probably break the plastic slot.
2 years should work just fine if you don't use the motor everyday. Brushes can last anywhere from 1,000-10,000 hours so more frequent checks are recommended for a regularly used motor.
This guy is no nonsense. Excellent presentation, very thorough and helpful.
Thanks Beach Thor!

Why on my motors is the copper plates wearing out and not the carbon brushes ?
There are a number of possibilities, either arcing, exposure to water, or some other current carrying medium. Hope this helps!
How to remove "frozen" brush cover on a 1940's Black & Decker circular saw?
What do you mean by 'frozen'?

I would have thought someone giving advice on dc motors would know how to pronounce commutator correctly.
Yeah you would think! I have to admit, I get a little camera shy and trip over some words.
How can I check my picanto ultenator and change brushes
Hi Tshifhiwa, the Kia Picanto? I'm no car expert. You may be better off to consult an auto shop.
@@emotorsdirect hi, thank you for the reply.
Commutator not commentator :) Otherwise very informative.
Thanks Phooogle, I guess I got a little camera shy and mixed up my words!
@@emotorsdirect Did a million times better than I would have done :)
Really *not* a problem. Great content and concise instructions. Thank you so much!
"Check every 3 to 6 months" yeah not that motivated maybe every 2 years
