First post from new member .
Having problems with my elu MOF 177e.
Been working perfectly and then just stopped .
Occasionally when I try the switch it will turn a half revolution and stop.
Any obvious common faults with these routers .
It is 24 years old but the build quality is far better than dewalt copies
I use at work.
These old routers are getting a bit thin on the ground here in the UK
and would like to keep it going if possible.

Many Thanks

Thanks fot the help.
Now fixed , it was a dirty commutator.

Can anyone help with my next problem.
I also have an old elu mof 31 I want to mount in a table but I need
a converter nut so it takes standard elu /dewalt collets.
Anyone know if these are still available to purchase ?

Ok I pinched the below passage from a post in 2008.I am inthe same position.
The below poster was able to resolve this problem as at the time dewalt did a conversion nut to allow standard elu/ dewalt collets to be used.
Obviously this was in the distant past When I google search for part,amazon shows it, but it is no longer available
Any one know where I can find one, I am UK based

I own a Elu mof 31 router(discontinued in the mid eighties) in good working condition, Which I want to use permanently table mount.
There is no nut and collet assembly on the router. Just a shaft with a fine 12mm tread. Drawings of the router suggest the machine did not come standard with a nut and collet assembly. Was the machine only ment for use with screwed on router bits, or is/was there a nut and collet that fits to this router? is the 12mm threading some kind of standard used on other (Elu)routers as well?
I hope someone here can help me further, because retailers cannot seem to be more specific than the original drawings, which do not give any answer on this.
kind regards,
