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.

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?


I have no idea. The URL appears to be a "built" URL, which
becomes no longer valid when you exit the web site.


I tried it a second time a few seconds later and it came up. But like

O.K. That kind you just hit with a hammer (wear safety glasses,
of course), and use a wooden block under it. Pine 2x4 would probably do
well for a few parts.

Good Luck,
