Hi guys,

I joined here to find a collet for my Stanley router, Motor #91258 Mod. 31. I found it in a local thrift shop. Needs a little TLC but it runs. A 82930 Plane Attachment Model 01 with the bit came attached. I have taken the planer and the bit off. I need other bits. I think I also need a collet of some sort before I can use other bits..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Jim

Hi, glad you decided to join the fun. If you add a snapshot of the router, it helps. The best place to find parts for older machines is ereplacementparts.com. If it's not there, it just might be too old. You can contact Stanley tools and see if they have the part, or maybe enough information so you can find a substitute. That's the problem with buying old tools. Collets are really precision devices, the difference between loose and tight is just a couple of thousandths of an inch. They do wear out and if it was used for planing, it is probably a high mileage tool.
