Hi Guy's & Gal's,
I have recently retired and wish to start using my router that was purchased around 1985-90 + -, Its a Black & Decker model #7614 Type-1 and was used for about 15 minutes then stored after its purchase. Will this unit suffice for most home use's? One project I wish to start is completing an older black powder rifle kit that lost its fore stock in a home move years ago. I bought a piece of dark walnut 20' long that I will route out to match the body and hold the hexagonal barrel. That and a few other small projects. I have a few router bits for the 1/4" shank router. I was a busy guy with little free time from my two jobs and raising kids.
I did fire it up a week ago and thought it a bit noisy, but I am assuming that high pitch whine is normal. It was packed away in a stored box with the table top base and the various parts. I have dis-assembled the unit to check that there were no parts missing and thoroughly vacuumed it out. I do have a tiny shop filled with decent machines and tools ready to do my bidding. So I would appreciate any input that can be provided by folks familiar with the model and that process!
Thanks,
Rick
