In Response To: Tools: ARRG!!! Busted Router (Jack Sanderson)

:
: I’m not sure of the terminology for these motor parts, but there
: is a 14 sided bearing with two contacts/brushes making contact on them.
: One of the 14 pieces has broken off (accounting for nasty medal flying
: around in the motor noise).

:Hello Jack,

The 14 sided bearings that you are referring to are the commutator strips. The other replies are accurate in that the unit is not worth fixing. Unless you can find an identical router in a flea market that may have a burned out field winding, but a good armature. Then you could do a swap and save this unit, but it would be more for the challenge than for ending up with a good tool.
Enjoy your new router.

Cheers,
Andy.

Perhaps a "new" used router?
