Flexible Shaft Adaptor # 2221-MA00009-00 Carbon Brush # 03AT-000046-00 Brush Spring # 02AH-000088-00 For a Mastercraft Maximum Spin Saw Kit Model # 54-8205-8 Cdn Tire doesn't support their own "house" brand with spare parts. Does anyone know who was contracted by Cdn Tire to make this unit? That could give me an alternate source for spares. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Bob

Type "Sears Parts Direct" into your computer search engine, along with the make and model number, and see if they recognize your machine.
If so, they might have a part for it.
I would also try "e-bay" or Amazon, but you will need the part number of what you want first, I would say.
God bless your efforts.

Autostop protection in a carbon brush in a short brush jumps out a little plastic pin from inside the brush comes out in front of the carbon that will jump out to protect the collectors for a spring behind the carbon brush , but a powercable can also be the cause cable break

Check carbon brush

Your best bet in this situation is to find a tool repair center that has a large supply of brushes on hand and is willing to look for a set that will work in your saw. At my repair center I do get tools like yours that don't have repair parts available. Most brushes come in standard sizes but the caps on the spring have to be compatable with the brush holder to work properly. If you don't know where a repair center is, go online and look for Authorized Service Centers in your area. You can get more specific and look for Dewalt, Ridgid, Makita, Milwaukee, etc., service centers.

Generator replacement brush notice:
1, from the model and material needs and the original brush.
2.It is best to grind the new brush to the Radian size of the old brush.
3. pay attention to adjust the brush grip pressure.
4. the carbon brush size should be equal, not too big or too small. The carbon brush is not subject to force in the process of placement.
5. pay attention to the carbon brush and armature to have obvious contact, do not push the carbon brush in.


Generator brush replacement method:
1, the first with a special wrench loose brush braid fastening screws, loose fastening screws should not be loosened excessive, to prevent screw loosening and falling off.

2, take off the carbon brush braid, the carbon brush and the pressure-equalizing spring at the same time. When installing a carbon brush, put the brush into the brush grip.
3, then press the equalizing spring.
4.Use special wrench to fasten the brush and braid to fasten the screw. When fastening the screw, it is not necessary to exert too much force to prevent the screw from being damaged.
5. Check that the brush moves freely in the brush grip, and the spring can be pressed in the center of the brush.

I think I may have the same kit (#54-8204-0-).
I called Mastercraft at 1-800-689-9928 and they told me that these were under a 3 year exchange/replacement warranty, and after that we are out of luck (the stores do not stock parts, and unless they have some returned kits around, there may not be parts available).

I asked about the current zip saw (Click this link) and am hoping that parts from that will work. The girl at Mastercraft gave me the number for Powertools plus / JinDing (who make this tool), and I am going to call them and see if I can order the collet that drives the flexible cable (1/4" collet to the small square of the cable).
Their number is 1-877-683-2082.

I am hoping that these are fairly standard, and that the collet will fit.

If you cannot get the carbon pieces and/or spring out of the brush holder your only option is to take the saw apart and remove the armature. From there you can either push the carbon piece(s) through or out from the other side. It will also give you a better assessment of any damage caused to the brush holder and armature contacts.

You have to open the case. First remove the transparent plastic on the side then you will see screws on the bottom part of the transparent plastic. Unscrew them and from there you will open the machine. Remove the rexair cover and unscrew the screw that attaches to the 2 carbon brush. When you remove the carbon brush you will see a spring and the copper wire at the end of the brush. remove it and put the new copper wire from the new carbon brush to the contact passing thru the middle of the spring. Then screw it back tightly.

mastercraft 10" compound saw model #55-6802-6-- need spare parts - How do i get them.
Need center bolt for blade

Some of the 'good' hardware stores sell small brushes for hand tools. Look around and you can custom fit the brush if it's not exactly right size with light sand paper
