Hello and thank you!

freehdom

Hi guys! I am new to the world of woodworking and have found this site very helpful-- thanks! I am interested primarily in building picture frames, although I am excited to try other things as well.....

I bought an old craftsman router a couple weeks ago (model 315.17310) that came with a table and a bunch of bits, but it seems the collet is stuck. The nut comes right off, but the collet will not budge-- so I can't get bits to insert all the way. I have resigned myself to purchasing a new router and after reading some of the posts here, have decided to go with the Sears combo. I am sure this will bring many more questions, and I thank you all in advance for your help!

Greetings and welcome to the router forum. Thank you for joining us. I have the combo and I've not been disapointed.

Welcome to the forum there are many here who can assist you getting what you want to do with a router. Just a reminder there is more that can be achieved when the router is held in the plunge mode check out the material below.
