Can anyone help me find some replacement carbon brushes for the Emco F1 or Emco Compact 5 main spindle motor?

The motor was made by Baumuller in Austria back in the 1980's and genuine replacement parts are now unobtainable.

The brushes are approx 6.5 x 7.5 x 20 long with a long 26mm spring.

Has anyone found a suitable substitute? Or does anyone have some part used brushes to sell?

Thanks

Mike

Thanks for that link. They look to be somewhat undersize but I could give them a try.

Mike,

Rather than make do……try this company here….

http://www.solenttools.co.uk/carbon-brushes-3898.html

What they dont know about brushes aint worth worrying over….

Give them a call, they can even make new ones….

Thanks John,

Solenttools are only just down the road from me and sound very helpful on the phone. They may be able to make up a couple of sets for me.

All sorted.

A quick trip to Solenttools in Southampton. They sure lived up to their reputation, a set of replacement brushes were produced in five minutes flat.

For future reference Emco F1 / Compact 5 owners should note that Solenttools part no. STL 0406 at £8.00 a pair is a perfect replacement for the Baumuller motor part no. ZME-200-290 which cost a wapping £90.00 a pair from EMCO.

Thanks for all the help and advice

Mike
