Craftman has a two hp, 11 amp, variable speed, router with a base that uses porter/cable type bushings. What makes this THE cheap router for table mounting is... it is adjustable with a 3/16 allen wrench through that table top. Yes a built in router lift. Unlock it, adjust it, lock it. I have it mounted in a Rousseau router base plate. Cost: $69.95 plus tax.....regular 79.95.......But I used a sears credit card..10.00 off. After they ring it up PAY THE CREDIT CARD OFF This is NOT a plungle router, so no springs to remove.

The fixed base kind of looks like the porter cable 890 series or a Bosch setup, with the lock lever and then the worm gear driven from above the table. Who is making this series of routers? any guesses? | ||

Hi Doug I'm thinking Porter Cable/Black & Decker . (lock lever maybe the give away and the base plate can take on the PC brass/steel guides ) Bj

This looks very much like the 893PK I examined at Lowe's. The black rack is a big clue, the clear sub base plate another. I will rule out Bosch for sure. Trap, please look very carefully at the sub base plate. Does it fit smoothly to the router base all the way around? The PC I examined had a gap of about .020" a third of the way around!

It looks like an 892........The price 195.99, this model is 2 1/4 hp sears is a 2 hp I paided 69.99 (did not give the correct price in post.) That is for the router. The Base plate is the same size as the router. I have never seen a craftsmen with a base plate that would fit PC guides. The Geezer is not known as a man who spends money for fancy things. I am using a 3/16th four inch long hex key. Bud

I cannot find this model number on the Sear's website... did you buy it in-store? Also, can you include a pic of the spec plate on the tool? Thanks, Oakery | ||

Oakery, Sears is a real bother with their part and model numbers. This is the same router: http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...TOOL&ihtoken=1 Trap bought this for $10 off because he used a Sears card.
