Milwaukee Carbon Brush Set
Model Number: 22-18-1500
The Milwaukee 22-18-1500 is a genuine OEM Carbon Brush Set for Milwaukee orbital jig saws, including the 6268-21. Unlike a brush sold individually, this part is a complete set that includes two carbon brushes with attached lead wires, giving you both brushes a motor needs in one part. Carbon brushes are the components that conduct electrical current into the spinning motor: each brush rides against the commutator and transfers current to the armature, which is what makes the motor turn. A brushed motor uses two brushes, one on each side of the commutator, and because they wear together, replacing them as a matched set is exactly the right approach, which is what this set provides. Carbon brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool parts, since they gradually wear away through friction and use. Worn brushes are a common cause of a motor running poorly, losing power, operating intermittently, sparking, or reduced electric braking, and a worn-out brush is often worn down near the lead wire and may be cracked, pitted, or burned. Replacing them with this genuine Milwaukee OEM set restores full motor power and smooth operation.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This carbon brush set is specified for Milwaukee orbital jig saws such as the 6268-21, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. Note that this set includes the two brushes with their lead wires; the brush holders are sold separately, so reuse your existing holders or order them separately if they are damaged. When replacing the brushes, inspect the armature and commutator for burns, cracks, or wear, since damage there can indicate a larger motor problem and can wear fresh brushes out prematurely. After installing the new brushes, run the tool briefly under no load to let the brushes seat to the commutator for the best contact and performance.
