Trend T5 Router

[Hitch]

Just used my router, and notice some float in the spindle causing an inconsistent cut.
Had it a while, but not done masses with it.
Pulled it apart and it looks to be a part missing. No way it could have come off as its within a housing.

No36, a nut which i gather would screw against the bearing, but images of said spare look like it wouldn't fit.

Any of you woodworkers got a t5 you could snap a pic of? (If it's a v2 it's behind the spindle lock cover.)

If that nut had anything to do with setting end float, would it not need to contact the inner race of the bearing?

From the exploded diagram, if everything is drawn to scale, it looks closer in size to the OD of the bearing (and it probably should not touch that).

 

[Hitch]

Yes, it needs to tighten against the inner race only, nothing else.
That was my thoughts, barely looks room for it unless the housing isn't machined quite right, and that's why it's been left off.

Try calling Trend, I’ve found their customer service and support to be excellent.
