SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the differences between 2 pole and 4 pole universal motors used in power tools. It is established that a 4 pole motor provides higher available torque due to the reduced angular distance between magnetic peaks compared to a 2 pole motor. This characteristic makes 4 pole motors more suitable for applications requiring greater power and efficiency. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding motor configurations for optimal power tool performance.
