Hitachi TR-8 router.
I took apart an old router last night to clean it.
In the process of reassembly I broke one of the motor bushes
i.e. twisted copper wire disconnected from carbon block.
I managed to get it back in because the router was designed to enable
the bushes to be changed from the outside.
I chanced a power up and it ran ok before I quickly switched off.
Is it risky to put the router to work?

Thanks.

I guess you mean brush and not bush ?
