Hi,
I'm new at routing and bought a new dewalt 618 router set couple months back. It's my first router so I'm not sure if this is expected. Whenever i route, i can see small sparks inside the motor housing. It's even more brighter/intense when the router is under load (it whines). Is this normal?
Thanks,

Yes it is normal if from inside the housing, outside probably not.
