Genuine Porter Cable replacement part includes 1 Carbon Brush with wire lead and brush spring attached. • Worn brushes are often the cause of a poorly running motor • Replacing brushes can fix an intermittent motor • New brushes can restore a motor's electric braking Carbon motor brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool components. • Because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away, they will eventually require replacement. • Worn brushes are common causes of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking, and reduced motor power. • A worn out brush will often be worn down near the wire lead and may be cracked, pitted, or burned. • When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to also inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which indicates a larger motor problem.

Carbon brush for belt sander
My belt sander was sparking in the motor and had lost power. I replaced both brushes and it works like new again! Cheap and easy fix!

This was a Rockwell heavy duty belt sander model 363 Type 1 though the new brushes were for a Porter-Cable belt sander with same model no. and they fit perfectly.
Replace the brushes as follows.
* unscrew the caps covering the brushes with a screw driver.
* remove the old brushes
* push the new brushes into the rec
... Read moretangular cavity the old ones came out of
* place the tabs on the contacts into the same cavity as the brushes and screw the caps back in. (I had to spread out the tabs a little with pliers so they would press on the sides and stay in place while screwing in the caps. Without doing this they kept falling out of place preventing the caps from pushing them into place)
* with the new brushes in, the motor worked perfectly
The challenge installing new brushes is that the springs need to be fully seated to install the caps. The springs don\'t want to stay down. I accomplished this by slightly bending the copper tabs out to press on the sides of slots which held the springs down long enough to get the caps on.
1. Took out brush caps and removed brushes
2. Removed all housing screws and switch handle screws.
3. Separated housing and removed armature
4. Used small bearing puller to remove bearings.
5. Pressed new bearings onto rebuilt armature and reassembled in reverse order.

Brush spring weakened by excess heat, probably from poor contact with brush housing.
