Carbide3d Routers burning up

There are a number of 65mm diameter routers under various brandings which come and go.

We pay extra w/ the Carbide Compact Router to get electronic speed control which at least some other vendors don’t.

The big thing is we have a 12 month warranty — if anyone has a Carbide Compact Router which is in warranty and not working right (after changing the brushes) let us know and we will work out how to handle that.

Some folks have experimented with battery-powered brushless routers, but there doesn’t seem to be an affordable option for connecting power and doing long runs is risky and changing batteries gets old.

A while back I was doing so many test cuts for tech support that it felt as if I was spending more time wrenching than the machine was cutting so I indulged in:

still trying to work out dust collection, but the tool change mechanism is quite nice.
