      Does anyone know where I can get some brushes to fit a Chester 16V Mill, Chester as usual have nothing in stock and every supplier i find on ebay etc don’t even have a size that’s close:

      16mm x 10mm x 3.5mm with a approx 1″ spring.

       

      Thanks

      Dave D.

        Could try here as a starting point, reducing the cross section is easy enough with a coarse file if you take care to keep things flat and square, the wire can be shortened and resoldered to the old brass terminals. Good luck!

            Thanks, I will give https://www.mrcarbonbrush.com/ a call, the ebay one is based in China so no delivery until November.

              You may have looked at this Seller already, but I was very impressed with their handling of a recent purchase.

                Is there a Warco model like your machine? that might be worth looking into as well.

                  Do take note that DC and AC motor brushes use different grades (hardness/softness).

                        Just a word of caution, based on my own very recent use of Ali Express

                        … be prepared for a deluge of eMails

                        Having succumbed to temptation, I signed-up and placed two small orders for items that I need. Both are in transit, and being tracked [amazing given the low prices], but there has also been a flood of ‘recommendations’

                          I just have my email set to put their communications in the “promotions” inbox rather than my main one so they don’t get in the way, I don’t get a notification when they come in and I can look at them if I feel so inclined. It also saves me money as sone of there recommendations are worth having.

                              Hi David, just spotted this post. I have a Warco WM16 Mill that I have had since new in 2005. The brushes you want are the same as used in my machine, and I have always bought them from Warco. My most recent purchase was about a week ago. Hope this helps you.

                                Thanks for that, i got some from AliExpress in the end for 79p but turns out the motor is blown anyway so had to fit a new one, time for a bigger Mill i think !

                                  you think Aliexpress is bad for after sales emails, try TEMU!!!!!

                                  Have to say tracking and delivery from TEMU is even better than Aliexpress – but the offers to get you to purchase more, are unending – they have not worn me down(yet!)
