The use of electric motors in radio control cars and boats has resulted in an increase in number of builders who wish to increase their motor's performance. One way to do this is by turning or "truing up" the armature. This tool fits in the tailstock and supports the 1/8" diameter motor shaft in a brass bushing while it is turned and the armature is machined true. (Note: a 1/8" WW Collet is recommended for holding the shaft in the headstock.)
If you're serious about getting the most out of your electric motors, this tool will be a big help. No longer do you need to be satisfied with "stock" performance or bothered with the cost and delay of sending your armatures out to be trued up. (Note: The majority of motores now in use have a 1/8" shaft. Confirm the shaft size of your motor before ordering.)
