Guys, Does brush spring tension and / or armature end float have any cause or effect on the arcing? I keep my armatures shimmed up to prevent excessive end float. All my steamers seem to spark alike. I have an old drill motor that arcs pretty much. Works fine but it sparks. Happy 4th.

Chuck, with all due respect, I believe that is an old wive's tale. Nobody has cleaner comutators than me. When I am done polishing one, I can admire my handsome face in the reflection. They still arc like crazy. I've also tried "Kremlin Paste" on them. They hate it. Same with the pickup wheels. I'm thinking there must be another cause, IMHO.
