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.

Hi Trap

Nice looking router ,what did you pay for the router ? is that the 70.oo bucks or was the for the plate ?
It looks like a neat router for the router table

what is the size of the Allen key to adjust it from the top side ?,do you use a long T type Allen key ? or a standard Allen wrench .

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 )

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.

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.
