Spindle motor change

Hi

Has anyone changed the spindle motor on a MicroRouter? At present I have the original Porter-Cable 3102 HD laminate trimmer unit rated at 120v-4A.

Just looking for something a bit quieter if anyone has any suggestions.

Thank you so much for the info, I will try this afternoon and see what happens. Hopefully it will be as good as new once it is all set up correctly :lol:

Do you know if there is an exploded diagram of a Microrouter that I can download and an operators manual?


Cheers

Re: X axis stiff

Hi angel-tech

Well the carriage is disconnected from the leadscrews so I guess that eliminates the drive belt unless I am missing something.

I am moving the carriage by hand and it is very stiff to the LHS so I guess the slide rails are a fraction out?

Newbie : Which router bits to buy

Hi I have just bought a second hand Microrouter for general hobby use. Can anyone recommend a good selection of router bits I should buy to get me going. Also a good supplier.

Novamill transportation

Hi

Any tips on getting a 170kg Novamill into a hatchback.

It will physically fit (just about)) but can it be stripped down at all to make lifting it in a little bit easier?
