Official Bosch router parts

Bosch router maintenance tips

• Lubrication. Grease the gears in your router yearly to keep the parts moving smoothly.
• Carbon motor brushes. Examine the carbon motor brushes every six months and replace the brushes when if they're damaged or worn down to ¼-inch long.
• Bearings. Bearings should be replaced after about 400 hours of operation or if they become noisy.

Common Bosch router replacement parts

• Carbon motor brushes. The carbon motor brushes transfer electric current to the spinning armature in the motor.
• Bearings. The bearings support the drive shaft inside the motor housing to allow the shaft to spin.
• Collet. The collet holds the router bit in place.
• Chip shield. The chip shield attaches to the router to prevent wood chips from hitting the operator.
