I'd like to get a comm lathe. But, what's the difference between modified
and stock? Obviously the stock one is for stock motors and the mod one is
for mods, but, what's wrong with having one lathe for both? I'd like to be
able to cut bothe, on one lathe.

Some stock motors aren't rebuildable, so the lathe is designed to use the
brush hood as a guide.  Get the mod lathe and buy rebuildable stock motors.
It's all good.

   Where is a good place to find how-to information on rebuilding motors?

Ok, and how far can you grind the com down before you need to replace the
arm?

When the copper rips up, that's too far! Until then you're fine - if
you look at the end of the comm, you should be able to see how much
copper is left.
