Ryobi Dremel Screaming

Sound on. My Ryobi Dremel started doing this about 90% of the time. Happens more at high speeds. What's going on? https://photos.app.goo.gl/BtaJYKTnzUNU56XJ8

My Dremel from the mid 90s does that every decade or so. I replace the bearings and it’s good for another decade. I’ve also had to add a little paper shim in the groove that the bearing sits in to keep it tight, but otherwise, it still works like a champ.
