Overview
Replacement carbon brushes restore proper electrical contact between the stationary housing and the spinning armature in brushed power tools. As brushes wear down during normal operation, intermittent sparking, reduced power, and eventual motor failure can occur. These aftermarket brushes are manufactured to OEM dimensions for a precise fit.
Key specifications
- Aftermarket carbon brush replacement
- Manufactured to OEM dimensions
- Pre-formed contact surface for faster break-in
- Spring-loaded design for consistent pressure
Compatibility
These brushes are designed for DeWalt power tools as listed in the compatibility section above. Verify your tool’s model number and brush part number before purchasing to ensure correct dimensions and lead configuration.
Installation notes
Disconnect the power source before servicing. Locate the brush caps on the motor housing, typically held by a slotted cap or Phillips screw. Remove each worn brush and note its orientation, then insert the replacement brush and secure the cap. Run the tool briefly at low speed to seat the new brushes.
Common questions
Q: Will these 614367-00 carbon brushes with lead fit my DeWALT DW716 compound miter saw, and are they the same as part numbers 5140024-30 or 999044?
Yes, this brush and lead set is listed as compatible with DeWALT DW713, DW715, DW716, and D24000 models. It also replaces brush part numbers 5140024-30, 0502025007, and 999044, so if your original brush matches one of those numbers, this is the correct replacement style.
Q: Do I need to replace both brushes at the same time on my DW715, or can I just change the worn one?
It’s best to replace both motor brushes at the same time so the motor wears evenly and maintains proper contact with the commutator. Since this is a 4-pack, you’ll have enough to install a matched pair now and keep another pair as spares for future maintenance.
Q: After installing these brushes on my D24000 tile saw, is there anything I should do before using it under full load?
Yes, new carbon brushes should be seated in gently before heavy cutting. Run the saw unloaded for several minutes so the brushes can conform to the commutator, then check for normal sparking and smooth motor operation before putting it back into regular service.
