Replacing Makita Router

Hi.

The small router is broken, doesn’t look as if it’s fixable. Are there any plans for getting a new one?

Cheers

Hmm, I wasn’t aware of it being broken. What is broken about it?

Cheers

I’m happy to have it for disassembly and parts

Worked fine last week. I also cleaned out the carry case and dusted off all the attachments.

The spindle lock was damaged, most likely due to having been over tightened.

I have chopped this off to prevent further use and damage to the tool which is in perfectly useable condition, it just needs to be used with the two spanners rather than the button and a single spanner.

That’s great. I will try it tomorrow.

Didn’t realise you chopped it @Jonty_Bottomley, thought as if it had been sheared off somehow.

Anyway, shows how much I know about tools and woodwork… Sorry to cause confusion.

Router definitely working
