Hi,
I just received one of these "new" and turned it on. It sounds fine when running at any speed, but makes a minor rattling or knocking sound when it slows down just before stopping. Is this normal for this unit?
Thanks,
Jerry

I have a 1617 that I use for hand held work (mostly use the router table). I never noticed any unusual noise in the unit when shutting down.

I have one as well and don't have that symptom.

Thanks, sounds like it will go back but maybe more will weigh in.

Mine makes noise but it is getting up there in age. The bearings are nearly shot. I squirt some WD40 in there and it smooths it out.

Oops. I have the 1613

Is the collet tight? Does it do that with or without a bit in the collet?

Same result with or without a cutter installed?
If it's noisy with a cutter in it, does that cutter have a bearing on it?
