On Brush hood alignment,Why in your opinion is it better to align them 180 deg. from each other?
I found that doing this the brushes do "NOT" ride on the comm correctly or evenly.Most of the time,I do use that method to find out witch brush needs tweaked and what way it needs moved.
I am always open for opinions and suggestions on motor building.
I do like the Putnam brushes very much and Tribo and always a hole in the brush.
