Genuine Hitachi armature assembly — part no. 360-072E — designed as the rotating core (rotor) for the motor in several Hitachi compound saws. It restores smooth torque and commutation when a worn or damaged rotor is the cause of burning, heavy vibration, or intermittent operation.

Built to original Hitachi specifications, the assembly features a laminated steel core with copper windings, a precision‑machined steel shaft and segmented commutator; it’s the 220–230 V version intended for the matching Hitachi motor housings and cooling arrangements. This construction helps maintain brush contact and airflow for reliable cutting performance.

Example models this part is used with include the Hitachi C8FS (and closely related compound/mitre saw models such as C8FC, C8FB / C8FB2 and similar C8-series machines), so it’s a direct-fit replacement for those saws that list part 360‑072E in their parts breakdown.

If you need a straightforward, original Hitachi replacement to get a saw back to service, this armature is a key item among Hitachi parts and a standard choice when repairing motors. Keep it in mind when ordering replacement power tool parts for C8-series mitre/compound saws.
