Unisaw - Motor wiring for 230V and brush replacement

[Bill DeBender]

Hope to tap into your experience..

I just purchased an older Unisaw #114-4221.
The saw has the large 1725 RPM motor. The cover plate is scuffed and un-readable.

Can someone help a novice Unisaw owner and explain…
1. How to check the motor wiring for 230V and check the wiring starting at the motor out to the switch.

2. How to replace the motor brushes.
I removed the covers on the end of the motor and the armature looks like new and the brushes I can see are about ½ inch long.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Bill

Welcome to the creek. Congradulations on the saw.

Forget about the brushes.

Thanks
