    Maaate (trying to tag good bloke DJ, but I'm old and challenged), let me know and I'll happily buy it off you as a spare if the price is right.

    I think a man with 10 of ANYTHING isn't too worried about price

    "bought some Festool routers"... so is that ten SPARE DJ? .... maybe those other 10 didn't fulfil some existential need in the routing department

    ...

    DJ, Waldo needs a router! Be a maaaattteeee......

    Default Happy days!

    So I pulled the old brushes out again, had a look at the new and old and the older ones are worn so that they're concave on the contact ends (my limit of writing technically)

    Didn't realise the phone would focus on the table not the brushes, but you look real closely and jump up and down 10 times you'll see what I mean.

    So I popped the new one in, put everything back in place, hooked the power up and turned it on and I'm back in business. Woohoo? $27 fix and she's happy as Larry again.

    Let’s just say I don’t like changing bits. I’ve got some good respectable routers here. Never liked the tritons, think I have 3 of them, 1 is the one Chris needs and I also have 2 of the mof models as well I think.
    Cheers

    There’s nothing wrong with having 10 routers; having recently given away two old Generic Made In China’s I’m down to only 9...

    Should a MOF become available it’ll look good sitting between the JOF and the spare TRA that isn’t sitting in the table....

    9 routers is a fairly good effort, certainly out of the hobbyist stage and into semi professional level.

    Well that didn’t last long and stuffed up my plans in the shed this weekend.

    The router with its new brushes worked enough for me to do a dummy run with a bit, then it died. So it’s something more than the brushes. $27 down the tube.

    So I’ll hang out for DJ.
