Hello, I came across a PC 513 mortise lock kit at a moving sale , For $35.00 look new and runs fine , turns out it worth 800.00 or more . it has every thing . anyway I only wanted the router motor to put on another base , does anyone know how to disassemble this thing or know where i can get the manual for it . I cant get the bit off the long shaft.Thanks to all

Hi Ken

DON"T disassemble it, put it on eBay and then take the money you get for it and go out buy 4 NEW PC 800 router kits... or a real nice table saw..

You'er playing with a 1000.oo dollar tool...you should also take the time out and go buy a Lotto ticket.

Ken, those set ups are used by hotel installation crews to save time and guarantee consistancy. I agree with BJ, sell it to somebody who will make use of it and get yourself a better router; NOT 4! One BJ is enough!

Hi Ken

Can't have too many routers, just as a side note , get Mike's PC 690 for a 100.oo bucks then take the other 700.oo bucks and buy some tool you have wanted for a long time for the shop..

I would suggest you sale it for 800.oo,,, sell it with a quick buy item on eBay...

http://www.amazon.com/Porter-Cable-5...5909370&sr=8-1

But if you have this item also it would push your selling price up by just a bit..or kick it in as a helper to sell it quick.

Just as a side note, I would used Amazons pictures. they show how it's used...

Ken, we used to have 3 of those jigs running non stop for 12 hour days on cruise ships, hotels in the Caribean and across the midwest. They are money makers for large jobs and overkill for single jobs. I was operations manager for a specialty locksmith. Our servicemen were factory trained by Vingcard, Abloy and Medico for hotel installations as well as normal locksmithing duties. I never had to crank one of those handles but I know the revenue they can produce.
