I have a Freud FT2000e router in my table. This weekend, one of the brushes took a dive. It came apart and there is nothing left of it. No problem, I called Freud this morning to geta new set not eh way.
No dice.
"Haven't had anything for that router for 4 or 5 years…"
The rep told me that there are brushes for other tools that may work and that I should call Porter Cable and "shave one of theirs down".
Has anyone here repaired one of these with brushes from another tool? If you have, do you know a part number?
I have the old brushes out, but there is little left to "Match up".
This router is too good just to throw away. Besides, I would probably have to replace the Woodpeckers lift as well. This could get expensive! Can't do that right now.
Second option… does anyone have an old one that has another problem that would be willing to part it out?
Help.
