Skil 100/190 brush caps

General Discussion

I need 1 brush cap for a recent 190 that I picked up. This 50 yr old planer is smooth a silk. Any idea where I can obtain. I found some caps that fit Skil worm saws, but not sure if they will fit. I found some old Swaylock posts (2002-4) about replacement parts. Not sure if still valid. I will probably list my 100 on ebay soon (need cash). Thanks for the help.

I think a number of Skil products share parts. Check on the Skil circular saw parts list. Or take it to a Skil repair center, to find an interchangable part. Also Doug Felts, here on Sway’s, has access to a lot of parts.

If they are the same as the 100 caps (there are 3 different ones for that model), I may have them. Please PM me with a photo of the cap (if you have one) or the brush holder on the motor housing. Skil didn’t make the caps or holders, they’re standard items like brushes.

Hi! I know this is a post from many years ago, but I’ll try anyway. I’ve lost the cap on a brush from my Skil 100 and I don’t know where to get it. Can you help me? Thanks!

Hey,

While we’re waiting for Pete C to chime in, and he is The Man when it comes to Skil planers, note that as he says, Skil didn’t reinvent the wheel when it came to brushes, caps, bearings and similar. Nor did they ( same deal for a lot of tool parts and manufacturers) make them in house. And yes, they probably used that same part in several of their tools.

Instead, they bought them off the shelf somewhere. Now, you could break out the digital calipers and thread gauges (handy items every shop should have) and look for the precise thing or Amazon will sell you a bag of assorted sizes of brush caps for under ten bucks, try 'em and see. You only need to match the threads and hold the brush in there, not come up with an identical part. This is just one, they have other assortments:

hope that’s of use

There are 3 different types of brush caps: Small Plastic, large plastic, and brass/plastic (no longer available).
