Charlie may know more?
no need for a dremel blakey
a simple fine toothed file is a good tool for resizing the carbon brush that are oversize (ps you move the brush over the file )
agree with rick ...most auto electricians carry brushes about the right size (well the ones that still do in-house rebuilds anyhow )n just take along an old brush ....for dimensional purposes ... my local auto guy had 2 different dimensioned brush sets with about the right length "off the shelf " and for a under 10 dollars
