Bench Testing: Commutator

Inspect commutator for roughness, grooves, burns or pitting. If necessary, sand lightly with 500-600 grit sandpaper. Check commutator for out-of round and mica insulators undercut to a depth of .020-.031" (.50-.80mm). Commutator may be turned less than .04" (1.0mm) from original size and mica undercut. Replace if excessively worn.
