No lathe, nothing you can do to make the motor faster.

If you did have access to a lathe....... you can pop the endbell off rather easily to true the comm. Hold the can with the endbell up / motor shaft down, and smack it on something hard. The endbell will pop right off..........

Bend the tabs out a little to replace the endbell, then bend them back down. You may have to use a tiny bit of superglue to hold the endbell tight.

I've seen lathes that could cut a non-rebuildable motors WITHOUT taking them apart. I don't know who made them, but you might try contacting a company like Cobra (http://www.teamcobra.com/cobra/comlathes.htm). Hope that helps

2 different holders, 1 is v blocks for arms . The stock motor lathe has a motor can clamp for doing it in the can. Both methods work fine.

Back in the old days, all stock motors were crimped together and the lathes designed to cut the comm in the can were called "stock" lathes.
