Re: Has qualtex inmproved on their bosch brushes?
when I was a college many yeaes ago a we were taught “commutation is that which is occuring in tha armature during the short circuiting period of the brushes” in other words the direction of the magnetic field is changed. excess sparking could therefore be inbalance in armature magnetic flux i.e. bu*****d armature or bad contact from brush to commutator. we were also taught that higher resistance brushes help to “dampen” poor commutation.
I sometimes find motor arcing on bosch but I find that cleaning the com with a rag dampened with WD40 helps as it removes residue between segments also you must be sure that the brush is well down so that the spring pushes the brush firmly ont the com and is past the tight section of the holder.so theres my two penny worth!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its worth having a closer look at the spider I had one once where the crack in the metal could not be seen but once removed you could feel the movement in one leg.
