:mrgreen: In my resent post I noted issues with wooble in my dremel because what I thought were poor bearings. A couple guys posted that the issue was not the bearings but a poor fit of the bearing in the housing. Has anyone repaired their dremel to fix this issue?

Yep.
Unscrew it. Clean it up. Slip on a band of 3/4" or 1" diameter shrink wrap (I don't remember which, but it just fit) trimmed to fit the arbor. Heat with a hair dryer to shrink. Screw it back together. Changed the brushes while it was apart. Very little play. Better than new. Good for another 10 years.
