“VERY NICE ROUTER!!!”

: Mr. Fix it
Pros: Easy to use, adstable speed, soft start
Cons: hard to find replacement/ add on items

Craftsman Professional 28190 12.5 amp 2-1/4 hp Corded Fixed Base Soft Start Router with LED Worklights —

I have been using this router for over a year. I have used it with huge router bits to cut raised panel doors and it gets the job done. I am only back on the site because I am trying to find replacement parts for it (such as a 1/2" collet and an extra router wrench). Which would be a bad thing about this item. Is that I cant find these items. I would also like to buy a plunge base for this router by itself but cant seem to find one. These items should be more available.

The Craftsman Professional Fixed Base Router has 2-1/4 hp and a 12.5 amp permanently lubricated ball bearing motor with variable speed from 12,000 to 25,000 RPM (no load speed). It's a heavy-duty professional router that cuts smoothly and easily through soft woods, hard woods, veneers and plastics alike. The router includes both 1/4 and 1/2 in. collets. A spindle lock is located in the front of the router for easy removal of bits and collets with a single wrench. The bit is secured at the desired height by a positive, cam-locking mechanism. The electric feedback control feature ensures the proper RPM for the bit size and material throughout the cutting operation. Soft start technology helps prevent router take-offs as the motor steadily revs to the desired speed. The router's ergonomically designed tear-drop handles dampen vibration and provide a comfortable grip in a range of positions. Micro height bit adjustment can be made in 1/64 in. increments by simply turning the height adjustment knob. The clear sub-bases, which accept threaded router bushings, together with the built in LED light illumination enhance visibility of the work piece and the bit. Dual view windows provide a clear sightline to the bit and work piece from either the front or back of the router. A chip deflector helps keep the chips contained and away from the operator. A 1-1/4 in. vacuum attachment adapter is featured for efficient dust and debris collection. Includes: Motor unit, fixed base, 1/4 and 1/2 in. collet, wrench, edge guide, twist and lock vac adapter, hex key, screws, carrying case, how-to guide and operators manual.
