Hi jcmmgm
You'er welcome,,, I said the same thing when I saw the plastic bag of parts, "what a joke, a rod and some plastic parts,,,, for 80.oo bucks ,they got to me,,," then I took my time and took a hard look at the parts, and said most of them I will not need but it can be used in many routers,,,,so if I get a new router I will have the parts I need to use it with the new router as well
It works great and not that hard to setup...in fact fun stuff to do on a cold day in the house..
The only I didn't like about the kit was the SMALL crank handle ,, so I made one just a bit bigger in dia. I just drill a hole in some hardwood the same size as the plastic one ,and with a drop of super glue I pushed it over the plastic one..
see it the pictures
