WHEW!!!....have I been busy. I'm finally able to see some daylight. I'm finishing up a couple of odds and ends for a couple of projects before starting a complete kitchen remodel.
On one of these odds and ends allowed me to finally get to use the reman DW616 that I bought a few weeks back (from Tyler Tools). After finishing the first pass I turned it off and let the router hang down in my hand while it spun down. I noticed at two separate times (speed ranges) during the spin down that there was a noticeable change in pitch and a small vibration. These each lasted approximately 1 to 1 1/2 seconds. It continues to do this every time I turn it off. I was using a 1/4" roundover bit. I only ran it for about 12 feet in a total of 4 passes. There is no noticeable/abnormal noise or vibration while it is in use that I can tell. I can't feel any movement iin any direction while moving the arbor by hand.
Is this anything that I should be concerned about? Is this maybe just some sort of bearing noise/vibration that is normal or to be expected or is this something that I should call Tyler Tools about?
Thanks very much for your advice and opinions.
