Dead Router

[cowboy1296]

i have no idea how many times i have changed my brushes. One little idea that i read on here, with power going to the router try tapping it lightly with a hammer. If it tries to start then its the brushes. I get mine on ebay and generally have about 3-4 spare sets on hand.

The first time they were ground down to about .35 of an inch and and another time they were below .5. Loosing your brushes during cutting can cause you to destroy the board you are working on.

I had a router go on me and the culprit was the cord.
I did a voltage check and it passed so I thought I eliminated it, turns out the hot wire was good so it was passing voltage but the neutral/ground was shot and I only found out about it after a continuity check of both wires.

Yeah. It was the brushes. Not sure how many hours I logged but I've had the Bot for almost two years and used 3-4 days per week.

Best upgrade ever to my bot. Going strong almost 2 years now.

Interesting. Can you post pictures of your set up?
