| Registered User New Member |  Freud FT2000E problem I have an older Freud I use in one of my tables. It now doesn't want to start all the time. Sometimes it will spin up to speed and then slow down. It seems to have a problem holding higher rpm. All this is with no load. The brushes are poor but not cracked etc. One of the brush leads is frayed. Was wondering if I need to replace the brushes and or the switch? Also, where to get such parts. |

| Registered User Forum Fanatic  | I suggest that you call the Freud Power Tool Parts and Repair department at (800) 334-4107 (option 2). They can offer advice and you can purchase parts directly. |

| Registered User |  Same FT2000E Issue I too have a 2000E router that has developed this low, or unstable, RPM problem. I did check the brushes and even swapped them from one side to the other, but the problem still exists. I am thinking it might be the electronic speed control module. Did you get your issue resolved? What was the final solution? Thanks in advance for your time and assistance. drbinne |

| Registered User Forum Fanatic  | Hi Toolman - I'm not familiar with the FT2000E, but it "smells" like the electronic speed control output voltage is wavering. But I did want to jump in and welcome you. Come back often. Roger (Roefa)
