[shim20]

hi all was using this other day and stoped blue sparks etc, so took apart armature was burnt looking so got a new one and some brushes, still abit sparky but not as bad and no burning smell but the electronic brake dosent work or the speed controller so my next guess is the controller unit if so i will have to get a new one as thats £190 :shock:
any advice would be great help thanks

Define "still abit sparky", Also, what is working and what isn't. Your explanation is a bit loose.

May be better off buying a second hand unit and butchering the parts you need. It's worth saving if you can, the 3612 and variants are superb machines.

Wow! thats expensive, I would look at a second-hand router on EBay.

May also be worth stripping out the controller to see if its serviceable. If it has been damaged and the circuit isn't potted, you may be able to identify the damaged component. If this is the case you may have the option of having it repaired.

As mentioned above, keep your eyes on on ebay, there is this one;

Looks a bit beat up, but you could use as a donor for the parts you need.
