Porter Cable 22-7519-60 Router Motor Issue

Thanks for the replies. I'm investigating getting a replacement WC router spindle but in the short term will most likely have to get the Porter Cable repaired as we a few jobs to get out imminently so any recommendations of even where best to search for an engineer would be great.

Regarding a replacement, I'd be grateful if you'd have a look at the pictures in this link and considering how the current router spindle is attached to the CNC router machine, let me know how I would go about attaching a new router spindle.

If you look on eBay there are many sellers who keep stock in Portsmouth, you can have a 2.2kw spindle and inverter within a few days for around £183 ish, I did. If you look at the specs you'll see the body diameter is 80mm so I guess you could use your existing spindle to make a couple of clamps that would fit the existing bolt holes, there's plenty of designs on here that people have made. I just bought a http://www.zappautomation.co.uk/mech...h-housing.html bearing housing, pressed the bearing out, slit down one side and used the mounting bolts to clamp the spindle body...http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/2148-...7962#post67962
