Have you done a complete router tune up? There's a how-to article in
Fine Woodworking, Taunton Press, not sure which issue. Have you
checked the brushes? Carefully look for damage? Check runout? When
did the router start behaving that way and what was it doing? Have the
owner's manual?

It hapened for the first time 2 weeks ago and I haven't used it since.
I took it apart last year and broke 1 of the brushes (brush broke from
spring)
I didn't buy a new one and just bundled into the housing and router worked
ok
for more than 6 months.
I don't have the manual (bought it 2nd hand more than 10 years ago)

Certainly the speed control is not working. A question/guess, it is not
spinning way too fast? Bearings are shot?
Probably time for a new router.

Hi.
It did appear to be running faster.
