I dropped my router

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

While building a new section for my garage door, I dropped my older sears router and broke the left handle. Sears no longer carries parts for it. Is there anyone reading this who might have a broken router that would like to sell or trade me something for a handle for it???

I have some extra farrowing crates if you have hogs, and other misc farm junk that might be of interest for trade.

Gary, Hope it is not the handle with the switch. Here is how I have fixed these little problems I use Bondo or car body cement repair. You can put it on as thick as you wish as long as it is in thin layers. Build up with the broken parts left and scrape and sand until you have the handle reform which you want. Hope this helps. I hate to lose an old tool over dumb things which i do! JR

Check ebay, see if you cant find a replacement router cheaper than parts to fix the old one. Might even find a old model similar to what you have to fix yours.
