Just purchased a second hand TRA001
It's in excellent condition. To make sure it wasn't abused I took out the bushes and check them over. They are almost full length, so little use as the seller said. It's nice and clean. I can see it wasn't cleaned with compressed air to hid something....
What concerns me is the noise. It's not grinding or chewing anything up internally, but compared to my Festool 1400 router, it's as rough as guts. It's also bloody noisy.
Turning it on and letting it run does not impress me with its "precision" label. It like listening to a home built v8 with a cracked piston compared to the smooth hum of a Ferrari.
Is this "normal"?
Perhaps I should post a video.
