Dremel bearings

Post by vrg3 »

Ciper mentioned a Dremel tool in a recent post, which reminded me... I think the bearing in my Dremel is going bad. At first it just got rather hot when I used it for more than a minute or two. Now it seems like there's a little play in it, and it actually makes a little bit of noise.

Are these bearings field-replaceable? If they are, do I have to get the bearing from the manufacturer or would I be able to just go through the bearings drawer at my local hardware store?

Thanks.

I looked around the site and didn't see any reference to replacing or repacking the bearings... Or were you just pointing me to their customer service?

Nah, I think I'll just be disassembling it and finding out for myself soon... thanks for the pointer though.
