ETS 125 bearing replacement

[erock]

Hi guys,

I was looking for info on replacing what could be the top bearing on a ETS 125 sander. 

Is this a part that I could buy and replace myself.  Or do I need to send the sander into Festool for service?

A ball park price on this part or service would be great as well.  Because it maybe worth just buying a  new sander. 

Thanks for any help.

Eric  you could look up the part using the Ekat system

http://ekat.festool.com/EKAT/jsp/main.jsp?doAction=start&partLang=en&docuLang=en&locale=en_EN&viewerType=6&k_vari_top=festoolusaroot&k_ver_top=&image=0&k_lfdnr=&nodeId=child&verticalLayout=1&HOOK_URL=&currency=USD&filter_F_Typ1=on&filterValues_F_Typ1=US&currencyKey=US

Then you could order the part from Festool Service

Thanks Sal.  I forgot all about the EKAT system  [embarassed]

I own a ETS 125 and it's just find.  But I found a ETS 125 on my local craiglist for $75.  The guy said he thought it needed a new bearing.

I was going to go look at it and then he sent me photo's of the sander.  The pad look a little  beat up and the insert was missing.  The only

thing worth buying was the systainer.  Also, there was a UPS shipping lable on the top of the systainer, so something was going on with it.

I was going to buy it because the bearing on the EKAT are cheap, but after thinking about it, I left it for the next guy.
