Welcome to the Forum. What is the model number? That will help some. Lowes says they no longer sell this router brand. You might try ereplacementparts.com. Not a fan of off brand tools. They often wind up being orphans and because the makers produce no name tools, they don't bother making many replacement parts so they are often hard to get. You might also check with their website, http://bluehawktools.com/ Sometimes they can help, sometimes not. You will want to have the model number and serial number, which may help them identify who actually made it. Good luck. It is often so that off brand tool parts are just not available, and it's a mystery what can be substituted.

Good luck. The website that Desert Rat Tom is a good place.
However, off-brands are sometimes made in the same factory as the name brand items. I saw red Murray-Ohio lawn tractors going down the assembly line. Behind them was the grey Craftsman lawn tractors. I worked at an appliance manufacturer who made several brands for other companies, including a hardware chain.
