Router Rebuild

Post by bill z »

My Shark was used when I purchased it. While using it after 4 years, I noticed the Bosch router noise changing pitch up and down some. My experience with other power tools suggested I might have some bearing issues. Taking the router apart, I also noticed the brushes were less than 1/4 the size of a new one.

Investigating on the internet, I found a place selling replacement bearings and brushes for my router for only $12.50 delivered. $12.50 is much better than $150.00 to replace the router.

The bearings were tight to remove but did remove easily. After replacing both bearings and the brushes, all is good now.

Brushes and bearings are cheap enough to replace them once a year if needed. Before I got a spindle, I only had to replace the bearings and brushes once in just over a year. I have had my spindle for only about 10 months now, but is is really quiet compared to the router.
