My OF1010 router is making some suspicious noises:
- a bit of a shake and little growl when starting up
- a rattly sounding bearing when slowing down on switching off
- just possibly a little bit of fluctuation in the running speed
- it otherwise runs fine, so hopefully is ok for a bit
I am suspecting the bearings may need replacing, but wonder whether the brushes may be worn also.
Does anyone have any experience of replacing bearings on a OF1010 and anything to watch out for?
I would rather tackle this myself if possible - the machine is pretty old now (2009) and aside from the expense, I could do without an uncertain wait to get it back from Festool UK repair centre.
Cheers
