Brushed Tool Repair | Bosch 1617 Router Fix

[@Swamp-Fox]

Nice to see someone actually repairing a tool instead of just tossing it and buying another one!

[@danielgay7939]

Well, I had the problem, (the router slowed down to zero speed) followed your video, and fixed it. Thank you. Cost me $10.
Back in business!

I hoped that would help someone one day.

What size is the screw to take off top motor

[@occisoft8082]

Thanks

[@eyesopen6110]

Did it get very hot? I just got one and it seems the motor is toast before I even got to use it.

[@carolinaworkshop7091]

Mine was in a router table so I cant say yes or no but the brushes are small and any heat from them should not go to the outside of the router.

@@carolinaworkshop7091 Thanks. I returned it. I think people buy, use, and return these before the 90 day return period runs out.. So they burn them out for 3 months and then return it...

I hope my machine having the same fault . Before sometimes working and now not at all working

[@carolinaworkshop7091]

I hope it works for you.
My router eventually broke and I could not fix it.

@@carolinaworkshop7091 If you still have it the power switch can get full of junk and stop it from having a solid connection. Try cleaning that out.

[@elchillie4469]

what if i changed the brushes and it still loses power with no load, just as you described... what would be next?

[@carolinaworkshop7091]

Sorry to hear that. I think there is a common issue with the switch. Maybe the routers turning off and on?

Smell coming out?
