Reply:When you are rolling your brush racks, you are basically loosening the bolts front and rear and adjusting them for a hotter weld. Most pipeliner machines (sa200) I set the racks with a piece of aluminum with a machined radius dimention of the coummutator. I usally fabricate my own racks and stagger them with the 1/2" and 5/8" brushes. All my machines burn awesome.

Reply:Its easier than you think you really don't need pictures. You just need to get into your machine remove the brush cover you will see the brushes and they are sitting in the brush rack. One bolt in the front one bolt in the back. Just loosen do not remove, usually a very small adjustment will do. I am pretty firm on wet seating your new brushes. After about 6 hours wet seating your new brushes blow it out dry, try to weld. Photos, you must want to see my version of the brush holders, right?______________________SA 200's lincolns SA250's lincolnsSAE400's lincolnsinvertec's v205tinvertect's v311tThe Other Redpowcon smt's 400powcon's smt's350powcon's st 300'sln7gma'sln25'sand a gang load of custom built welders
