strip of 5/0 sandpaper against the commutator to
polish the surface and remove burrs which might
have been left by the undercutting process. Stop the
lathe and set up a dial indicator gage to check the
accuracy of  the finished commutator. The
maximum allowable eccentricity after polishing is
0.0001 inch total indicated run-out, and 0.0005
inch bar-to-bar.

for proper balance, which should be within 20-
grain inches at each end. If a balance correction is
required, mill the retaining bands 0.032 inch deep
with a 0.25 inch diameter cutter. Mill until the
proper balance is obtained.
