221 forum posts 1 photos | 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 Edited By mike T on 07/03/2017 14:03:53 |

221 forum posts 1 photos | 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. Mike |

221 forum posts 1 photos | 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 |
