I got a free treadmll with a permanent magnet motor. Of course it didn't work because a lead broke out of a brush.
I wanted to install the motor on my drill press but I'm not sure if I can get the motor to work at a reasonable cost or if I can even adapt it to the drill press. New brushes are available; a few weeks ago the price for one was $13+S&H, Now it's a pair for $38+ $10 S&H.
Is it possible to refasten the lead to the brush by some means? I found several electricaly conductive epoxys on eBay, but will the stuff stick to the carbon brush? The lead was in about 1/4" and the side of the brush broke out. Any ideas?
Thanks
