I have been a woodworker for over 35 years.
I came across a cheap router at a yard sale and it is broken. Need a little help.
I posted a question in the router section.
Sears craftsman 315.175100
Will not adjust up and down.
Please read my post.
Thanks

Welcome Roy. I've read the posts and can't add anything helpful except that I'd look for a better choice and give that Craftsman to a "friend". I've got one but don't have a good enough "friend" that deserves it yet.....All kidding aside it's a terrible design flaw that really shouldn't have been adapted. It sits with the rest of my old collection taking up space on a shelf.. My goto router is the Bosch 1617EVSPK in both my router table and handheld. It just plain works great and I don't waste time trying to adjust it.
