20 Most Recent Bosch 1617EVS 2 Router Questions & Answers

Sounds to me that the brushes burned as a result of the low speed and the fault may actually be a winding's problem in the main com, insulation on the winding's may have broken down resulting in slow speed. I think this may be time to look for a new router on ebay it would probably be cheaper than getting the com rewound if at all possible.

On some models the collet stays put on purpose. You don't have to remove the nut either. But if you really do have to remove the collet and it is the type that is supposed to come out (maybe you need to use the 1/4 inch collet) then just stick a bit into it without the nut and give the bit a sideways whack with a piece of wood. If the collet has been pressed in tight by the nut without a bit in place, then you won't be able to fit a bit into it, and maybe the collet is ruined. Find the largest diameter shaft you can to fit into the hole and pop that sideways. Good luck.

remove switch and disassemble and clean it. mine was full of wood dust , cleaned it and it worked like new again.

The issue I find most with these routers if they are not working is the main power switch. They usually are the culprit. They are easily changed is you want to tackle this job yourself. One other problem I see is the speed control module, just remove the two screws from the top of the tool and inspect the module with the knob. Look, for any burning or melting (this is rare). Just find a Bosch service center in your area, they will have the parts you require.

I have been repairing the Bosch tools for quite a few years and I still hate putting those levers on. Unfortunatly,there are no "tricks", you just have to set the spring in the lever then use a small screw driver to set the other end in its slot. Then try to rotate the whole thing untill the lever goes into the proper notch. It usually takes me 5 or 6 times to get it in, sometimes it goes in first time (rare). Sometimes I'm at it for 1/2 an hour.

Good Luck

this site does not have or sell parts. Manufacturers do not red this looking for sales. Parts are available on line from many vendors.

All the other answers are wrong. You get a wrench with the sander. It's thin so it fits between the pad and sander to hold the nut in place while you unscrew the pad.

There are a number of reasons why a belt sander will fail to track - Poor quality belts. Physical damage (dropped). Uneven wear of rubber drive roller. When one becomes troublesome it can take a deal of sorting. Best idea if there is no obvious reason is to start by trying an OE belt.

use contact adhesive

Just to clarify ..the bearing at the bottom nearest to the sanding pad is good? Also does it just stop and make a humming sound when in use ?

Isn't this a random orbital sander.
