Nothing will benifit a motor like a True comm lathe. Period. A comm stick wont do.
I have a old Integy 1400 nicad battery pack that I never cycled. I could dissemble it and make it into a 4 cell pack. Will that do? I have a offer where I get a stock comm lathe for $30 shipped with a diadmond bit and all you have to do to cut it is take the brushes out. Does that sound like a good deal?
