There is a possibility that the magnets in a Bosch 750W motor may move in rough service and if they do move in service, it could cause a total failure of the motor. The magnets are only retained in place by a thin film of non-flexible adhesive + spring steel clips. It has even been known for the magnets to move when being posted to customers! Some users glue their magnets in with an Araldite adhesive, we used to use a more flexible adhesive but that has now changed. Our standard upgrade uses a mechanical retaining kit for which there are full details on our website in the guidance note section http://www.technobots.co.uk/Technical/Guidance/BoschMagMod.htm.

Sorry Craig but the manufacturer is unwilling to make them anymore so we had no choice but to delete them from our product range.
