is there a cheaper way?
can i just replace the comm?
can you send more links?

 

[militarymaxx]

If you mean are there cheaper comm truers, then yes. I'm sure that replacing the comm would be cheaper but new commutators don't come trued. Like I said before, comm truing is usually reserved for the racing folks and not the casual runner or basher.
Here's a link to US dealers that carry HUDY comm lathes/truers.

Integy Comm Lathe

I have a comm lathe I purchased from integy but it didn't come with any instructions? Anyone know of any on the internet?

Team cobra also makes a decent comm truer.

check with your lhs they true mine for free. as long as theyve seen your face before theyll probably do it for free, a happy costomer is a returning customer.
