Hi folks,
I am repairing an electric motor for a friend. The centrifugal switch is
broken. It needs a replacement felt washer as the original has worn
down. It needs to be a hard felt washer (not the kind which is rubber
mixed with felt) with dimensions 1/2" (hole) by 1" (overall diameter) by
1/8" (thickness). Anyone know of a source? I can send money by PayPal if
anyone has one they're willing to sell.
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy
I was looking at these:

Do people reckon those would cut 1/8" thick felt with a hammer? Or could
I squeeze them in a vice?
Yeah, pop the punch upside down in the vice (only because it's Over
There) place the felt on top, place a piece of 3/4" ply on top, and
pop your hand down on it. Instant cookie cutter.
