Hi,
I have an old Freud FT2000 (Aka, Casals FT2000, AKA Draper Expert 57853 240V Router 1/2"). It no longer turns on.
There is a broken part - a metal coil that holds the brush in place, like in this photo here:
On the parts diagram, it is shown as part 73, a 'brush spring':
Anyway - I can't find any spare parts online whatsoever - just regular brushes - not this coil/spring.
Does anybody have any ideas on how I can source one? or, if there is a clever workaround to bypass this part?
It seems such a waste to throw this router away because of a tiny simple part!!
Thank you!
Sammy
