Thank you for that information on my Porter-Cable Model 1100 router. While this router looks nothing like the ones you included on the last post it was good to get some more information on it.
I wrote to Porter-Cable and they were nice enough to snail-mail a set of instructions for their model 100 router which looks very much like the one I have but updated a bit. I got that two days ago and annoyingly enough it has nothing on how to maintenance the thing. Imagine if you had to send your lawnmower into the show every time you needed to hose it down!
I really would prefer to just replace the cord myself if possible. I like to learn how to maintenance my own tools. I am quite fimiliar with electrical work having taken 4 years of electronics/electrical. So replacing a simple cord should be no issue.
Attached is a PDF to a diagram that I think is nearly what I have.
My problem is just that it is not clear how to actually remove the case. There are two long bolts (part 211) located at the bottom of the unit. Once removed the lower half of the aluminum case spins freely. Please note that I do not have a part 214 on this model. I think I need to remove part 83 to allow the lower half of the aluminum case slide free. I cannot seem to figure out how to remove this part though. Any ideas?
Thanks again for all that information you gave me.
