First router I ever used in a production job in a furniture factory many years ago. I was using the one I have now a couple of months ago when it started making rattling noise and then the sparks started flying. Took it apart today to find the welds on the motor fan connecting it to the hub failed and the fan was cracked all the way through. Have spent some time looking for a fan, but new ones appear to be non-existent. Wondering if there is someone in the world that collects these old routers for parts. Maybe I can find a fan. Great machine, hate to scrap it.
Here you go 100 bucks and keep yours as a parts tool and you can run on forever
