Not to give you something else to worry about, but I'd say there'd be a greater likelihood of bearings going bad before carbon brushes wear down. |

check the carbon brushes on a newly acquired used machine before putting it into service. Some used machines may look brand-new but could in fact have many hours of hard use such as commercial usage. If the brushes are getting short - replace them. Check the commutator for grooving and/or residue, while you're at it.
